Apparently they are compatible with modern operating systems but I'm wondering to what degree and if the modded releases fans put together are going to be better in some aspects.
Apparently the Sims 1's UI is having scaling issues but at least there's no EA launcher.
Oh I did that. Let me tell you, even for free... Only do that if you're ready to lose days of your time trying to make the things work.
Sims 3 and 4 with full DLCs are basically unmaintainable. It's not the repack's fault, they're just a complete mess.
Plus 4 is boring as hell, worst gameplay loop of the whole series.
