Love me the original games, just nice to have a stable way to play them. Added bonus both games works well on Linux via Proton. Available on both Origin, and Steam.

I have the opportunity to repurchase a game I am literally holding right now but can't play? Hooray.

Honestly I like the convenience and not having to mess around with fan patches and mods to just get the game to run well. Especially on Linux running these versions of the games is painless.

I'm not sure about the sims 1, but my original copies of 2 and 3 work fine for me in wine on linux, so if you're on windows maybe you would be able to run your copy using boxedwine? Also maybe running the normal version of wine in WSL could work

You can play it if you had the proper old hardware. Just dont connect that PC online.

Weren’t these released for free a few years ago? Now they’re trying to sell them again?

EDIT: Apparently that was a temporary promotional deal on Origin with the release of The Sims 4.
