It’ll boot after you apply the RAM workaround above, but you won’t be able to find drivers. If you have over 512MB RAM, you will need a workaround. Graphics may need to be swapped out for a Win9x compatible card - feel free to ask for recommendations.
DOS SIMTOWN DRIVERS
Before starting, look up drivers as above. You’ll need to use Google to find the drivers for your computer model, or use HWiNFO or CPU-Z Vintage Edition to find your chipset, graphics, audio, and network (NIC) model names, and then Google them with “Windows 98 driver”. These machines are period-correct for Windows 98, and you’ll have the most success with them.

You do not lose job experience by not sending your Sim to work.While the sub name is Windows 98, anything 9x related is alright, there's no issue in posting content related to 95, 98, 2000 or MEīe civil in the comments, if you're being outright obnoxious the comment has a good chance of being deleted and you getting a warning or temp/permanent ban depending on history When a Sim leaves their job, they start the new job at level 1 and if they go back to their old job, they will have been demoted by one level and will have progress to get back up to where they were before. The higher the level in their job, the more Simoleons and XP they gain. There are a total number of eleven jobs an adult Sim can choose from. The higher their grades are, the more allowance and XP they will earn. Sims in The Sims FreePlay can get a job and cultivate a successful career, while preteens and teenagers can enroll in school.
