Good to hear you are able to play The Sims albeit on an old computer. :)
If I were you, I would restore the Windows 10 computer to a time just prior to any activity by the geek squad, or if not much has been altered on your computer even prior to your first attempt to install The Sims.
Then do a disk clean up and defragment your computer and then restart the computer.
Find the Windows Update KB3086255 that causes The Sims not to run and uninstall it. Restart your computer.
Go to Windows Update and search for new Updates - that Windows Update KB3086255 should be on the list and hide it (right click and hide).
Install any other Windows Updates and restart your computer.
Now try installing The Sims - the base game then add House Party, Hot Date and Vacation and then using the base game disk update your game. Install Unleashed, Superstar and Making Magic and use the Making Magic disk to play The Sims.
You will also have to use run as Administrator, for the game to work.
Hope this helps?
Good luck with your game! :)
I have the sims complete collection. I think ive tried that but for some reason after i had uninstalled it it would not install again. lol i think i just messed the whole process up, but its okay. i just unplug a few cords and plug it into my old computer and i dont have to do any reinstalling. it works perfectly as if it just came out. BTW, how do you get stars on the sims superstar? :#
