How can I play Sim City 3000 in Windows 10?
Since we installed Windows 10, my Sim City 3000 game will not play. Is there a way to make it compatible with Windows 10? I do not like Sim City 4000 or any of the other Sim City games.

DICE TeamFor issues with Simcity 3000, please try the following:
- A disc versions will not work on newer computers. Edit: Please see the this post for more info.
- Turn off Origin in-game.
- Try running in compatibility mode: right click the Simcity 4 shortcut > Properties > Compatibility. Choose a compatibility mode, click apply. Try different compatibility modes to see if that resolves the issue
- Right-click Origin and select Run as administrator
Lastly, I cannot guarantee we can get the game working on newer versions of Windows as they don't meet the requirements of the game.
I hope this helps,

It states to contact a Game Advisor for a digital rendering of an older disc game (for newer platforms such as Windows 10) but nothing older than Sim City 4 is listed in 'first, choose a game'. I have the disc for 'Sim City 3000 Unlimited' but am having trouble with it now.

The game itself isn't listed, just select Simcity as your game and you should be fine.
