The Sims may have ended long ago, but that doesn’t mean it’s dead! Millions of players the world over are still playing the game that started it all. If you’re one of them, below are downloads, programs, helpful tutorials and links to other sites to help you make the most out of Sims 1.

Though this pack does not include magic, fame, nor the ability to take vacations as other Expansion Packs in this list do, this pack earned the top spot on this list without the need of fancy additional features. This was the first Expansion Pack in the Sims series. My collection of Sims 1 expansions. This is a list of all The Sims (or The Sims 1 as we often call it these days) expansion packs – listed in order. The Sims was released for Windows on February 4, 2000. Seven total expansion packs and several deluxe editions and compilations were released for the game over the next four years.

Palace Dining-Room
June, 3rd
You thought the site was dead, didn't you? Well, no, the yearly renewal bill for ATS1 hosting, reminded me that, if I had to pay for a site, at least, it has to be a bit living! I'm not sure I'll pay for another year (donations don't cover the cost, even if it's now rather small, but I have even less money than before... :/), but at least, you can be sure Around the Sims will stay online till the 1st of June, 2012, and maybe even longer with your help.
I made a dining set for my Sims 3 game, remade it for the Sims 2, and finally thought it could be nice to have it in the Sims 1 as well! So, here's thePalace Dining-room. After all, the place I'm calling Rue de l'Opéra in my Sims 3 town is also inspired by my Place Vendôme lot I had in the Sims 1. ;)

Baby World
October, 15th
As in my Sims 3 game, my town is experimenting a baby-boom, I had to create objects for babies and toddlers. A set I remade as well for the Sims 2. I wasn't sure about the Sims 1... Babies aren't that fun in the Sims1, but on the other hand, I don't have that many babies items, and new toys are always welcome, so here's Baby World for the Sims 1 as well.
Last times I made cribs (with babies, for Noémie's nursery & Gypsy sets), some of you said they would have liked better having them decorative. So, this time, I made the crib just deco, but I'm pretty sure I'll get complaints anyway...*rolleyes*
