    I Installed it and everything looked fine, but then I realized there are no NPCs other that the workers, and I can’t get into the cab to go anywhere other than Old Town and to the Magic Neighborhood through the magic hole (Cause they’re not technically a cab, I pressume). Any ideas on what´s happening? Please, I already built and furnished a whole castle 🙁

    I’ve installed the game before (I deleted it) and now when I want to reinstall it, the button doesn’t work.

    Does anyone know how I can fix it?

    Successfully installed everything and loaded the game. Get as far as the neighbourhood overview screen, but cannot click on anything or even exit. Everything is frozen.

      When your Sims are kissing and hugging a lot, one of them may ask another one: “Should we have a baby?”. Then you click “Yes”. Sometimes an adoption service may phone you and ask if you wanna adopt a baby. You can also click “Yes” or “No”.

    After entering CD and letting application install to 95%, I am receiving message “To continue with installation, please insert Disc 3 od The Sims Complete Collection into the CD-ROM drive and click OK.” When I click “OK” but I receive warning “This does not appear to be the correct CD.”

    How do i get passed this, Windows 11 user.

    Has anybody been able to get this to work on Windows 11? Followed all the steps correspondingly (I think…) and it just says “Could not find The Sims data directory.”
