For anyone using Setup.exe and it hanging here’s how I got it to work.
1. Mount disk image like stated above
2. Select Setup.exe by right clicking and opening mounted disk image.
3. After selecting Yes to setup, it might load and hang. Don’t panic.
4. Go to Task Manager. Under “Details” scroll down to the Setup.exe for Sims (should have logo).
5. Right click and open “Analyze Wait Chain”
6. A menu showing Setup, and something connected underneath (likely something called nvcontainer). Select that, then end ONLY that process, NOT SETUP.
7. Setup should start working as usual now to Install. Follow every other instruction listed on this webpage above to the letter.
8. After installing, from this point forward just go into Maxis folder, select the replaced Sims.exe from the step above you did earlier.
9. Game should load, have fun!
I found this out after checking PCGamingWiki Sims 1 page, which has info on Setup Hanging in modern systems.

I managed to install it good. Did the tutorial. But when I want to save it says “en error has occured” and the cursor freezes. Do you have any ideas on how to fix the problem?
Thank you
