   I got the game to work, but it won’t let me save? It says an error has occured. If I try to move a family in, it just resets when I return to the town.

     I was confused by this when it happened to me. You need to right click on the game and choose the option “run as administrator”. Good luck with the game!

         This worked for me: Setup (folder) -> setup.exe

   I’ve installed the game fine and don’t have any issues launching it. The problem is when the game starts up, it’s cropped. It fills up my monitor like it’s on full screen, but only the upper left part of the game shows up. I’ve adjusted resolutions and such but no luck in changing it. Anyone else have this and figured it out?

     I also had issues with the game being unresponsive and after tabbing out, the game would be in the top left corner but still cover my entire screen. I solved my issues by right clicking the sims.exe, go to properties -> compatibility -> and check “Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution.” This worked on windows 11

     Also, it seems like tabbing out of the game breaks it. Refrain from tabing out

   When I followed the steps lined out for me up there, the only one I am able to play is mansion and garden stuff. Did I do something wrong? how do I get the other expansions?

    Can’t find the serial number? Looked through files and it isnt anywhere.

    The directions for this are a little mixed up
    It asks you to register AFTER you install the game
    Which means there’s a bit of time between step 3 and 4 of just waiting

    mine automatically moved to the game cracked folder, but then it refuses to open, saying it cant find the directory.

      you need to copy the file from the cracked folder, and go into your destination where the game is downloaded and paste it there. Select replace.
