This could have been prevented, MAXIS and EA seem to like bad products. The major problem seems to be from the UPDATES XP recieves. Stop all non critical programs from the running and hope for the best. Try this completly uninstall The SIms from the PC. SO you have to manually delete it yourself. You may run into this in other older games that used SafeDisk to start the game up and to verify etc. When all else fails, follow the cmdprompt instructions listed in the link I'm going to supply. , but even if you do this the program will not be completly deleted from you PC. Perfectly legal to set your machine to allow the disc to run, since MS decided no you can't play these old games anymore. (I think.) On the CD Rom that will clear the program the your REGISTRY. Check out the list from Still more problems. Your CD ROM can't find the correct CD ROM. Download the update at or some other website found from googe or yahoo. This could be prevented if the developers did a little more work.
This is very bad design and a feel EA and MAXIS should refund our money with out shipping back the disk. So when you try run the game after updating XP(YOU MUST UPDATE XP UNLESS YOU WANT WORMS and HACKERS TO INFRINGE UPON your Computer!!) XP will shut it down since The SIms is trying to use memory the XP is using.
This is becuase The sims uses dynamic memory, you can see this when the game loads up. After you update XP, XP then uses memory that The Sims uses. I have, however, seen several people across the web verify. NOTE: The following results are from my laptop specifically. Other problems occur after you update XP, since before the update XP did not use key areas of the systems memory. I’m here to confirm that every game from The Sims Complete Collection to Sims 4 and everything in between (looking at you Medieval) runs just as well on Windows 10 as they did before the update.

There seems to be alot of problems with the Sims.įirst off you have to correctly install the expansion packs in order the them to work properly.
