    Right before it installs the game(around 95% already), I got a message saying that I should insert disc 3 of the Sims complete collection. What am I supposed to do

    Hey, I’m having a fatal error saying my graphics card doesn’t support Thousands of Colours. Do I give up or have to get a new graphics card? How is my new laptop having trouble playing such an old game?

      Nevermind! Turns out I can go into properties and set it to play on like, lesser colours! Thank you to whoever made such an easy tutorial to install, and had both a video and text. I don’t follow videos well but I do follow text! Super stoked to play some OG sims! 💞

    Im confused on what you mean by “drag and drop into the directory on where the game was installed”? Im up to this step and I have no idea what this means. Can you walk me through it?

    This pack contains custom content such as skins for heads and bodies which is not listed. It seems to be mostly characters from other IPs. What exactly is CC and how can I remove it?

    Hey. I followed the instructions in the read me manual and when I launched the game, I’m stuck on the neighborhood where a loading screen will continuously pop up, saying things like “Welcome to the neighborhood. Please wait while we shift your sims in” or “Sims superstars are arriving from all over. Please wait and give them time to come out from their limos” and so i did but it was stuck there. When the loading screens are done and i click the arrow indicated, the loading screen will appear again. And when i try to exit the game, my whole laptop freezes. Help please!

    Finished the installation process, but whenever I click on the .exe file to start the game either 1) absolutely nothing happens or 2) I get a dialog box saying that I need to insert a disc. Any ideas of how to fix this?
