When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse.
If you are responsible for one of the above issues.
Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).Thanks for the post, and I hope that some day your request can be met.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: I'm just speculating though, I have no specific info on the technical challenges of bringing The Sims 1 to modern systems.
THE SIMS 1 BUY UPDATE
Due to the existence of DOSBox and the comparatively simple nature of some older games, sometimes it's easier/less time-consuming to update certain games over others. Perhaps reviving The Sims 1 would be a significant technical challenge. The old games that are available have changes made to ensure they'll work on modern systems.
The issue generally isn't that a game would be too old, but that there could be compatibility issues with newer systems. On the "too old", that can be a bit misleading. I see a big thread on the GOG wishlist forum so you're far from alone in this request: One thing worth noting is that many of these older games were made available on GOG.com first, and then made available on Origin. It'd mean so much to many simmers if The Sims 1 was released on Origin.
This is coming from someone who plays The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4 and loves all of them for different reasons, since each is special in their own way. There's a huge benefit of having games connected to Origin: if I were to ever lose a pack or two or if my laptop crashed, I could just easily log back into my Origin to re-download my game library. I know I'm probably betting on an impossibility here, but Electronic Arts, I know y'all aren't against making more money and plus, if the game is added on Origin for purchase or even better-an anniversary promotional event like y'all did for TS2-it'll be a convenience for simmers who have bad luck with keeping up with their games or bad luck with horrible computers. I own The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, all of The Sims 3 EPs/SPs (currently working on owning the store and all worlds), and most of The Sims 4 packs (currently working on saving up to buy the missing packs I don't own) on Origin and am intending on purchasing The Sims Complete Collection in the near future. I will dip into my pockets to purchase purchase it for sure. I'd buy it and so would many other die-hard simmers!Īnyways, I did some digging on Origin and searched some EA games and stumbled across Populous (released in 1989) and Theme Hospital (released in 1997).īoth were published by EA (click the links to the game titles to see screenshot evidence from origin itself), so the excuse of The Sims 1 being "too old" isn't a valid enough, since it was released in 2000.ĮA, please consider releasing the first sims on Origin. I think that the game should definitely be released on Origin like The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection was. I've been around the Sims forum communities and apparently EA has no current plans on releasing The Sims 1 on Origin, because it's "too old".
