The Sims 2 Windows 7-10 Fixes

anyone still around? I managed to get mine to play with ultimate collection on windows 10 without changing anything. other than a black rectangle under sims in create a sim. but I still ended up using a graphics rule because I couldn't get simpe to find my game files for extraction. it runs terribly slow even with no custom content. but its custom content I want to make. simpe doesn't seem all that compatable with windows 10, there wont be anymore updates, you cant ask for help there, every tutorial and all instructions are now blank pages, you cant even make an account. just download simpe. but the simpe I have to use with windows 10 and UC is finally able to find all the game folders but most of the windows are black or white, I cant see any words just boxes that you can add checkmarks too. how do I know if I am pulling animations or any of the other options. when importing a mesh, same thing. you cant see any words and nothing imports no matter what format. does anyone know how to fix simpe? this is a 1 year old computer. radeon graphics. I do have the nvidia tools but I really dont think they work with windows 10 either. I wish sims 2 had studio like sims 4. something designed for windows 10 compatability. lets face it xp, vista no matter how much we miss them its just too difficult or expensive to find a legal copy. may my old computers rest in peace...
Mod The Sims still has a very active Sims' 2 community which do ask and answer questions about SimPE and modding etc. Even for Windows 10. If I find you any links I will post back but you might have better luck looking over there in The Sims 2 community where many questions and tuts are still available about SimPE and they are still modding TS2 so you know some of them have Windows 10. I went back to Windows 7 because I really couldn't stand 8 and really don't like 10 at all.
I found after I went back to an older driver for my AMD/ATI card released last Oct. 2016 I no longer have the shadow boxes under Sims and my settings are on high. I no longer have to turn shadows down to medium.
ETA: I see you have already ask over there and no one has answered. Have you tried to set the SimPE.exe to 32bit instead of 64bit? that might be part of the problem as most machines today are 64bit.
