The Sims on Vista?

_dogma_ · 06-05-2009, 15:27

Hey,
Just wondering if I would be able to run the original Sims series on my laptop? I'm using Vista and I know there was some problems with it running games. I'm not computer savvy so not sure if this is still case? Will I have to instal a patch or the like or is there just no chance?

Thanks.

Have you tried running it?

Knowing Windows Vista, it'll be more likely to work on Windows 7

To be fair if we ignore the XP virtualisation, which i really don't think would extend to 3d video. Windows 7 is pretty much the same as Vista at its core isn't it? I'm not a fan of people Vista bashing and hailing 7 as something new when it clearly isn't its just a polished version of vista, which needed some polish agreed but thats all really...
