i can’t open my created shortcut i followed the instructions, it loads, then nothing happens
Hello, I have been able to get the game to run- but any time i try to save the game says “an error was encountered saving the house”.
I have installed the game, but it will not work properly. It comes up a “Error Couldnt import the family” thing in the neighborhood and I can’t save or play any new families, couse the Sims themselvs won’t load on the lot.
I’ve done everything and then finally got to the setup screen somehow and it won’t load the game when I press 800×600 or 1024×768. Just loading cursor and nothing
