      you have to run the game as administrator

      https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/930408-the-sims-complete-collection/43682076

      “These are the exact steps I took.

      Left click on start. On my pc it is in the lower left hand corner.
      Left click on all programs and find Maxis.
      Right click on Maxis and click expand.
      Right click on The Sims and click expand.
      Right click on either The Sims…800×600 or The Sims…1027×768 and click run as administrator.

      When I didn’t do that I couldn’t save or move a family I created in to a house. When I ran it as administrator it worked right.”

      hope this helps!

    So I installed, mounted, and copied the files I was supposed to. When I run setup.exe the main menu will pop up, I will press Play, it asks me which size I want to play at… and it doesn’t matter which one I select, the game will never run. Help ):

    i think i found a solution
    after extracting use daemon tools lite (https://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite ) to mount the iso file in this file
    to mount it go to add image select the iso then mount
    the problem comes when you try to open the mounted file but it does not start , right click it and open or while mounting press open folder to view files and copy everything there and paste it in the extracted sims file. restart and open the start exe and it should work
    (use older version of daemon if it didnt work)

    found a solution to most peoples problem ( i think) after extracting the file you have to mount the iso file use daemon tools lite for it
    link – https://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite (if it isnt opening try older versions) open it and mount (press add image and select the iso file and then mount it) many people have problems on opening the mounted file, right click and open it then copy everything and paste it to the downloaded sims files and restart try opening it now as it will work

    it worked for me
