Thanks to everyone who replied and offered help. It worked just fine, and unlike the disk, there's no annoying flickering at the top now...and I am loving the bonus content, Night life and so on! Actually can't wait to get another bundle. Played for hours, started a band, got a celebrity point...why oh why isn't Sims4 as good as Sims3?!
I mean...the Sims are kinda ugly, the aliasing is kinda ugly...but looks aren't everything and one quickly stops caring about that in the wonderful immersion and challenge of this game!
It also just seems to be working out better now, on the downloaded version, than it did back in the day with the disk. I have every pack of Sims4 and now Sims3 really has my attention. All of it.
