   For some reason my laptop video card causes the game to close because it doesn’t support “Thousands of colors” Does anyone else have this issue?

     This is how you fix that issue:
     Right-click the game executable file.
     Click Properties.
     Click the Compatibility tab and enable any of these options (one at a time): Reduce color mode. Run in 640×480 screen resolution. Disable display scaling on high DPI settings. Run this program as an administrator.

    I can confirm this works on Windows 11 following the above instructions!

      i am assuming that this is NOT an iso based on the instructions? i absolutely despise having to run the cd each time i play these games, lol. (pointless comment really, as i will find out when it downloads, but i like to talk.)

    Sul Sul,
    I am in need of absolutely dire assistance, everything goes well following the instructions until I arrive at #5, the popup did not appear telling me the file already exists. The copied file simply appears as “shortcut”. when I click to launch the game a FATAL ERROR occurs that says “Could not find The Sims data directory”. I changed the files compatibility to windows vista (pack 2) but that didnt fix the error.
    please help, I want nothing more than to play this game again!!!

    *I am using windows 11 operating system

    Vadeesh!

      Hello! I am also having this issue! Did you ever resolve this?

      Hi, I don’t know if you’re still having this problem or not but I’m running The Sims on my windows 10 and I managed to solve the issue by installing the game from default installation destination. After that the “Sims.Exe” should show up. If not, try reinstalling the game and disable your antivirus temporary as it can deleted the exe file. Just a friendly note, The Sims Creator won’t work unless you find the crack outside this web. I saw one on youtube but unfortunately I forgot the link. You’ll have to find that on your own.

      Hope this help for your issues and good luck.
