‘component trasfer error’ …….. plz help me !!
I have got a Problem With: DLL funktion _ DSETUP.directxsetupgetversion
The game for me worked for weeks, then suddenly crashed and there was no sims.exe anywhere on the computer. It said “could not find data directory” so I uninstalled and then reinstalled and when reinstalling it installs everything but sims.exe saying “access denied” I dont know what to do.
Anyone struggling with using the start application this youtuber will help you out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI7W_vA6Ef8
This video was a huge help, thank you! I could not get the “start” exe or Setup to work, but as explained in the video all I had to do was go into Task Manager and end the start.exe process. Then Setup worked!
Thanks so much this was so helpful 🙂
Help! At the end when you press to Run as Administrator, it told me to enter the Sims Makin’ Magic CD. What do I do now? 🙁
A notification first pops up with “It has co me to our attention that you have installed another Sims expansion pack after the Sims makin’ magic. For this to work properly, The Sims makin magic installer will now update your installation. Select OK to proceed” and when I click OK another one pops up saying “To continue with the installation, please insert disk 1 of the sims makin magic into the CD-ROM drive and then click OK. Help pls :'(
I tried installing the extracted files, but every time I get this message “unarc.dll error code -6.” Can I get some help?
help my sims not showing in game what the hell is this
saame dont know what to do
Will not play. Tried all compatibility settings still no good. Always comes up as ‘incompatible program’ . Please help.
That will show up, but as long as the game runs, it should be fine. If it’s not running, I don’t know what to do.
nevermind running the game, i can’t even get the installer to run, am I doing something wrong? i have tried all the compatability modes amd admin mode, but nothing seems to work
hi, ive just downloaded and installed the sims, every time i click to run it says can not find the sims data directory. how can i fix this?
i think you guys should ask them to please reinstall the game on their site and upload the compressed generated program file for the game so we will just run the application once the download is over, no need for installing again…
My computer says ‘incompatible program’
What to do if click on the start.exe and nothing pop up?
You need to open Setup.exe in the Setup folder
Thank you! Works perfectly!! I made sure to change the resolution first, and change compatibility to Windows 7, not sure if XP would work or not but read elsewhere to do 7 as per https://beyondsims.com/2021/02/ts1-install-guide/
How do you change the compatibility?
I didn’t had any trouble with the game, thank you <3
I have found running up a VM of WinXP using Oracle VM VirtualBox the best way to run this game.
Makes backwards compatibility so much better when running very old games.
