I have followed the instructions on how to install, however when I go to launch the initial game images are shrunken and distorted, and it eventually closes itself then prompts error:
‘FATAL ERROR
Game cannot be started because
The graphics card doesn’t support thousand colors.
Exit now’
I did find a reddit post who had the same issue, but the advice posted on how to fix has not worked for me.
So far I have tried compatibility Windows XP (Service Pack 2 and 3), checking the reduced color mode (trialled at both 8 and 16bit)
Any advice on how to get around this? Would be very much appreciated! Thanks 🙂
I have a tiny problem tho. I played for the first time yesterday and saved my game and closed it. When I went to play again now my game wasn’t saved. Have I installed the game incorrectly or do you know what the problem might be?
I tried uninstalling this off my computer to try a method I found to run the game off the disk, but it’s not working. Trying to run any disk just prompts me to play the game like normal. I tried several times to uninstall it from the control panel but it just pops up a catastrophic failure window (“An installation support file could not be installed”), and what I assumed to be the uninstallation file included in the zip just stopped opening after a few attempts. I deleted every single trace of the game and its files off of my computer, but trying to run the disk again still just prompted me to start playing like normal, and “The Sims Complete Collection” still shows up in the control panel. I tried downloading the zip again to see if that would change anything, but now the download links do nothing (though that may just be an issue on my end).
Am I just being dense? I’d really love to play this game again but I just don’t know what else to try to do about this.
