The Sims 2 Windows 7-10 Fixes

After trying all the suggestions - thank you everyone for caring and helping! - with no success, went to Maxis support, laid it all out, and asked if they had any ideas. The first one didn't work either, so after going back & getting a different tech, had some more discussion on which discs I was using and what was happening. He said the 'curtain was closed' on discs, and after getting and verifying my game code for my base game gave me Ultimate Collection! Thanked him profusely, and it's working fine so far. Still need to get the resolution up from minimum, and start adding my CC, but am happy camper with Sims2 running on new machine. :) Thanks again to everyone that has offered help.
