- Now, open the the file called “The Sims Crack” and drag & drop the “Sims.exe” to the directory where you installed the game (by default this is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\The Sims). When the popup appears telling you the file already exists, you want to select “REPLACE”.

hi! the start.exe wont open for some reason…
I have followed all of the steps as mentioned above, all the way to making the program compatible for Windows XP (service pack 2) and selecting ‘run as administrator’, but when i double click on the icon i get the following message: “could not find The Sims data directory”. I have no idea what to do now. Some advice would be helpful.
I found this was happening when I didn’t right click and copy the sims.exe from the sims crack file and paste/replace in the directory where it was installed
Hey so I’ve downloaded the file and extracted them but i can’t see start.exe anywhere? I can see ‘start’ but no exe and when i click on this it doesn’t bring anything up- am i looking in the wrong place? searching for it brings nothing up either.
When I try to replace the Sims.exe file, it recognizes it has a shortcut so I can’t replace the file.
i can launch the game but it starts loading and then closes itself..?
Please change the screenshot, some people will expect that the picture in here (Screenshot image) posted.
The game is downloadable and runnable in Windows 2000 as November, 2024.
Palemoon is used for downloading the file but the computer (PC/Laptop) should not turn off when the download process is ongoing and the WiFi should not be disrupted or else you will have to restart the game.
If you cannot uninstall/reinstall the game, you have to delete the file and the items in the Regedit.
I get all the way to the end of the install and try to run it and it says i need to enter administration passcode…wth?
the final steps aren’t working. it’s not even running.. and there’s just no reply from your end based on the past comments here on the past few months..
It says I’m putting the wrong code, what can I do?
The game just freezes on the loading screen every time I try to start it. I’ve ran it in compatibility mode for Windows 7, applied the 4GB patch too.
I am unable to move the file for the final step, only the shortcut! I am very confused please help!!
I’m late sorry, you probably don’t even care about this anymore but you gotta click “copy” and paste it into the maxis:D itll ask you the copy and replace.
