   I finally got it to work by removing whatever 4k kb application was in maxis folder which mine did NOT create a maxis folder to my D: drive in ProgramFiles(x86) it just threw what should have been a folder into ProgramFiles folder, I checked my C: drive so many times see if I mistakenly put it in there but I did not, after hour+ figured it did not create the folder but instead dumped it all just in my ProgramFiles. SO- anyways I took the Cracked version and just copy & pasted (dropped it) over into the ProgramFiles and deleted/removed the 4k application of the Sims. Boom- launched. YAY ME. I kept trying to replace it but it kept saying I needed to login as Admin & I am & I edited and changed everything, nothing worked UNTIL NOW.

     OMG THANK YOU! This worked. If you haven’t figured this out already (which I’m sure you have, please run as administrator to stop the constant loading in game.

     This was super helpful, thank you!!! I was reading everyone else’s comments and this was the only one that helped with Windows 11.

   NOTE TO ANYONE DOWNLOADING:
   the serial code in the description is broken and won’t work, you’ll have to google one. I used this one : BYNW-EUXH-Z3D2-GS5J-CPF9 but it might not work for you. Good luck!! 🙂

    I’m having an issue when I go to try and install the game. It is saying there is an installation support file could not be installed. I have even tried to install under administrator.

      You’re trying to run the wrong exe, go to your sims file > Setup > then open ‘Setup.exe’

        When I did the drag and drop, the pop up to replace the file didn’t appeared. like it didn’t had a sims.exe already

          You NEED to REPLACE the original Sims.exe file with the cracked version. Like you will get a message saying:
          ”Do you want to rename Sims.exe to Sims.exe (2)?
          There’s already a file with the same name in this location.”

          If you do get said message, you MUST click on [Yes]

          But where is the original sims.exe file? how many kb does that file have? Is it the start file?

          Should be in the sub folder called # Cracked
