No, I'm on Windows 8.1. I got my new laptop before Windows 10 devices came out, and I've heard too many stories about people upgrading to Windows 10, encountering major problems, and not being able to return to their previous OS. I've tried tutorials, watching them on Youtube or following steps listed on this site. Nothing has worked. The further I've gotten was that error message, and when I looked it up on Google people were saying that if you get that error message, basically nothing can be done. There's no patch or anything, and The Sims 2 website was taken down, so we just don't seem to get any support nowadays.
@CeliaEquus Please do reach out to an Advisor following the steps I posted above. They can check what exactly can be done.
Thanks!
That's what led me to the forums in the first place. It was taking too long to wait for someone, and I wasn't sure whether I'd be notified when I was connected to an advisor. I'll try it again, but it's a ridiculous amount of rigmarole just to get a straight answer.
