Sims.exe wont even start up. Is this because of the windows 10 update?
@@nesuro:disqus I had the same problem. You just need to open the “Game Files” then “Setup” then click the “Setup” apllication
I just want to reply to you so others can see that this comment here solved my issue. If you found your way down here trying to find a solution, keep in mind that what this person here is saying will work… you will still need to follow the other steps that are in the video that has been posted in this comment thread a few times.
Hey, can anyone help?? I drag the sims.exe to the one installed in the maxis the sims file, and it doesn’t come up with ‘replace’ but to give permission for it the make changes – then nothing happens. Or it just comes up with ‘create shortcut’ and nothing about replace…
EDIT: I figured it out and I’m rubbish with computers! Lets see how it plays..
what did you do??
Yeah, what did you do? I can’t get it to work for me!
I dragged the crack directly onto the existing application instead of just into the folder.
The serial number didnt work for me. Any tips?
try typing S instead of 9, i got that mixed up too
I keep getting invalid code
cannot work on windows 10 pro 64 bit v1909 stuck loading in the sims logo
Unknown error occurred aborting setup. How do I fix this?
try this, it worked for me https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/950360/solution-to-unknown-error-aborting-installation-when-installing-reinstalling-sims-1
Hey there! For some reason my game doesn’t have any audio. Is there a fix for that?
was there any update on this ? im having the same issue with sound after the loading screen its quiet
The serial code wont work
Mine didn’t either, but when I copied each section and pasted it into the window, it worked. Try pasting one section at a time!
EQMV-73XB-F8J4-GSLX-4M67, at first it didn’t work for me aswell because I typed it over wrongly because of the lettertype (GSLX looked like G6LX)
Thanks! on my screen the S looks like a 6…
is there a sims complete collection that will run on a mac?
I guess no then. Thanks for nothing
No, there is! It’s on Macintosh Repository. 😀
I can’t even install the game. When I click on Install on the main screen, I just get this message “Unknown error encountered, aborting setup…” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/db643566b06870688b80b2ec7d350e67c08ae4187e507f4d6dbe8f6cc1eabf2e.png
I get an error as well when trying to install. I’m able to extract the folder but after clicking Install, I get this screen.
What’s interesting is I was able to download the game successfully with the file you had before (after following your youtube instructions) however, I had the looping issue at the neighborhood screen and decided to uninstall because I didn’t see a solution.
Sorry I didn’t make my own post regarding the issue, but I’m unable to make my own comment on “Join the discussion”.
Thank you

The install bar doesn’t even go up for me.
Eric, I’m getting the same error, and I’m dying to find a solution!
For some reason I’m stuck on the introduction loading screen when I’m first put into the neighborhood. Do this have to do with improperly placing the desktop shortcut for this app?
Edit: Oops! Sorry, didn’t read the information above me ahead of time.
Can it work with windows 10?
okay for some reason i can’t make my own comment? so i’m sorry for hijacking your comment. i installed everything and as soon as i need to put the serial, apparently i don’t have the serial.txt file
I have installed the game, it starts fine and the main screen works fine, but as soon as i put my sims into a house it loads the house and everything normally, once i try to click on anything to give the sim a command, the game immediately crashes.
I want to ask why i cant save this game i download the Sims same like this i create new family but ,om done play , why i can’t load save game , please answer thanks
Run the game as an administrator, it seems to work!
Did you fix it? cause i have same problem, i cant save the game and there’s message like “an error was encountered saving the house”, can anyone help me?
It really works, but has no one else noticed that some clothes are missing and instead there are futuristic robot (?) Outfits?
It is not bad, but unfortunately my favourit Outfit is missing 🙁
(black tanktop, short brown skirt)
what with this strange outfits, where are they coming from?
Yes! I know this comment is old but I just found this site. I’m missing clothing / skins, too. I remember that outfit! It’s missing for me too. Plus, my favorite — this flowy pastel dress from Livin Large. Did you ever find out why files are missing?
When I play The sims, every time I try to save it won’t let me is there anything I can do to prevent that, the first time I downloaded it, I put custom content in and every time I put the sims I created in a house, it would not load the sims at all. What would suggest I do to fix the problem?
It’s same me to why i can’t load
Sorry this is such a late reply, but I encountered the same issue but if you run it as administrator it seems to work perfectly fine!
