what do you mean by this? do i need to download windows xp sp2?

I no longer have sims 1,2 and 3 on my laptop since sims 4 became bigger I uninstalled it. So unfortuanatly I can't help you sorry.

I've managed to install my Sims Deluxe Edition game onto my PC but when I'm adding the above Sims.exe file to my C drive to then run it, nothing happens.
When you say 'rename the old one just in case it doesn't work' - what alternatives do we have if the file doesn't work? is it because this is for all expansion packs and I just have the deluxe edition? I'm not sure what other alternatives I have to get this game running on Windows 10.
If I remember correctly, I am sorry this is a while ago now, the file mentioned is for sims making magic, so you will need to have that one with your deluxe to let it work sorry.

I hope this helps with the administrative error, reinstalling Sims Complete Collection......feels like the millionth (Is that even a word. :blush: ) time now.
Edit: It worked! Thank you! :)

It works but only with the 800x600 resolution. :( Anybody know how to get it to work with the 1024x768 resolution? I already tried the -r 1024x768 trick that someone mentioned, but not sure if its just not working or I didn't type it in right. :/

Nope, it still not a solution. Game has tons of glitches that are so bad it makes it impossible to play!!! We need a fix EA/Maxis!!! Please fix this issue asap!!! :'(
I could also only play 800x600 but then I did a thing in the properties that allowed me to play full screen. I think I had to add a -w at the end of the target in properties. I will try and find that for you, since I found it online for myself.
