I’m trying to install the Sims original and I downloaded the sims.exe from the link suggested here:
but during the installation process, I get a fatal error - Couldn’t find the Sims data directory
then, I get an error 65280
any suggestions?

hello, im having the exact same issue with the same game. any luck? thank you
Hi, you can try following the built in game installation procedure.
Hope it helps, let me know if you have any questions!
I had the same problem. Happens if you choose any of the installer’s languages that’s not English.
How I solved it: in the game options, change the working directory from …/Maxis/The Sims/ to …/MAXIS/The Sims/
Just make sure it points to the same folder as the executable.
