1. Mount disk image like stated above
2. Select Setup.exe by right clicking and opening mounted disk image.

6. A menu showing Setup, and something connected underneath (likely something called nvcontainer). Select that, then end ONLY that process, NOT SETUP.

I found this out after checking PCGamingWiki Sims 1 page, which has info on Setup Hanging in modern systems.
Go into the folder you installed The Sims into – if you don’t know where that is, right click the desktop shortcut for The Sims and select “Open File Location”. Paste the “Sims.exe” file from Step 5. into this folder. Confirm you want to replace the file in the location.
I’m not able to paste. I get the message “There is not enough space on The Sims. You need an additional 2.06 MB to copy these files.”
This is the only folder on that drive
