The Sims Unleashed on Windows XP

Blast from the past with this one but here goes... I've dug out my Sims Complete Collection and an old Windows XP machine we had lying around. The Collection includes Triple Deluxe, House Party, Hot Date and Vacation, all of which installed fine and worked when I tested the game.

I then got to Sims Unleashed. It installed ok but whenever I try to launch the game, I get the following error message - 'Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart the application.'

I followed the instructions as specified in the manual and definitely have the correct disc inserted so I'm not sure what it is about Unleashed that's caused a problem. Any advice would be massively appreciated! Thank you 🙂

  • @Chenko1991 , try cleaning the disk with a soft cloth. It could be some dirt on the CD that is causing the computer to not recognize the disk.

    Hi - thank you for getting back to me. I've tried that and unfortunately no success. It just seems odd to me that Unleashed installed fine but now I can't get it to work. I'm stumped!
