@Pantheos333 - I have moved your post to the Other SimCity Games forum.
I am not familiar with SimCity Societies, but I can see that it is a very old game and therefore may have issues installing and playing on newer systems. Some basics for installing older games -
Run the installation files & Origin "As Administrator"
Be sure that antivirus and firewalls are allowing the installation files, or temporarily turn off antivirus during install
To install .Net 2.0, Go to Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off > Check the box next to ".NET framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)"
After installation:
Set the game executable to run "As Administrator" and Run in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7
Make sure that the programs are added to exception lists for antivirus and firewalls; if you're using Windows Defender, check the Controlled Folder Access settings
If the program file folder has a "TM" in it, remove that. Check \Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts Change \SimCity Societies TM\ to \SimCity Societies\
There is more information and SCS specifics in this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-SimCity-Games/Simcity-Societies-Failure-on-Windows-8-8-1-10-v1-0-4-243-v1-0-4/m-p/5243113#M814
Hopefully someone in this forum can help with more specific information about SCS. Happy Building!
