The Sims (2000) on Windows 10

@Tremayne4260 Thank you so much for your offer of help! I do not use any CC or mods with any Sims game.

The Windows 10 PC is 64-bit, on version 1909. 8GB ram, Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ processor (2.40GHz). From memory, the attempt I have made to run the game on this PC, is downloading a modified version of The Sims.exe. With this and the original file, the program simply does not run - there is no error message.

The Windows XP PC is service pack 3, 1GB ram with an Intel® CPU T2250 (1.72GHz). For this device, I have attempted using "/src /scannow" to see if there is a problem with the system files (nothing), tested other games such as SimCity and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 (both work). I have also tried re-installing the game.

Again, thank you so much for your offer of help! Hopefully this is information you were asking for 🙂

@Tremayne4260 Going to try this again as EA falsely marked my first attempt as spam and seem to have deleted it:

Thank you so much for your very kind offer of help!

My Win10 computer is 64-bit and running version 1909, with 8GB ram and 2.40GHz processor. The game appears to be a later copy as the base game has "(c) 2006" written on the back cover. I have attempted to use a modified sims.exe file as per YouTube tutorials, but that encounters the same issue as the normal sims.exe file - nothing happens after trying to run the game.

My Windows XP is service pack 3, 1GB ram & 1.73GHz processor (more than the recommendation). I have attempted scanning system files for any errors, the registry and also tried installing other games like RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, which have all worked. Re-installing the game also has not worked. TS previously worked but now displays "The Sims has encountered a problem and needs to close" whenever an attempt to boot up the game has been made.

Again, thank you so much for trying to help - hope this is the information that you need 🙂
