sims 1 not working

Managed to understand the installation and have sims 3 up and running. Done the same with sims 1 but still wont work and says I need a CD after copying sims into C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\The Sims  ??

1. When installation is complete: Open the folder #Crack
   
2. Copy Sims.exe to your installation folder (default: C:\\Program Files(x86)\Maxis\The Sims)
   
3. File exists already so overwrite
   

Item 3 is important, if you don't get the warning that the file already exists, you've done something wrong.

Oh, btw, did you install The Sims in C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis or somewhere else ?
If different then the crack must be pasted in the same directory of course.
