I need help when i start the game it keeps loading in the neighborhood it keeps loading. It doesn.t stop. Tabs of the other expansion packs keep appearing and loading then. Never stop please help
Yep same! Anyone have a fix?
I finally got it to work by removing whatever 4k kb application was in maxis folder which mine did NOT create a maxis folder to my D: drive in ProgramFiles(x86) it just threw what should have been a folder into ProgramFiles folder, I checked my C: drive so many times see if I mistakenly put it in there but I did not, after hour+ figured it did not create the folder but instead dumped it all just in my ProgramFiles. SO- anyways I took the Cracked version and just copy & pasted (dropped it) over into the ProgramFiles and deleted/removed the 4k application of the Sims. Boom- launched. YAY ME. I kept trying to replace it but it kept saying I needed to login as Admin & I am & I edited and changed everything, nothing worked UNTIL NOW.
OMG THANK YOU! This worked. If you haven’t figured this out already (which I’m sure you have, please run as administrator to stop the constant loading in game.
This was super helpful, thank you!!! I was reading everyone else’s comments and this was the only one that helped with Windows 11.
Can’t get it to work. Keep saying that I need to run it again and when I do, windows just open up the problemsolver-thingy that actually never solves anything 🙁 sad
I have gotten the game all installed, when i go to the maxis folder then the sims. I dropped the
Sims.exe however it does not ask me to replace it it just adds it to the file. i removed the original… the game is not popping up.
Hi. I start the game, but when it starts it just keep loading packs and i can’t do anything
I run the game, and when it starts it just keep loading packs and i can’t do anything
NOTE TO ANYONE DOWNLOADING:
the serial code in the description is broken and won’t work, you’ll have to google one. I used this one : BYNW-EUXH-Z3D2-GS5J-CPF9 but it might not work for you. Good luck!! 🙂
I’ve got the game working, and can Unleashed, Makin’ Magic and Vacation are all working….but none of the expansion packs? Any advice for how to unlock Livin’ Large and House Party?
PLEASE HELP
the game worked perfectly fine until I downloaded some CC to the game. The game has started to open and close a few times. I reinstalled it and now it starts and closes again and then when is starts the neighbourhood is completely empty and there is a lot of glitches.
Help me please 🙁
So I clicked on setup and put in the code and all I see now is the set up blue screen and i cant get out of it
I’m having an issue when I go to try and install the game. It is saying there is an installation support file could not be installed. I have even tried to install under administrator.
This fix worked for me 🙂

i double click start.exe but nothing happens
You’re trying to run the wrong exe, go to your sims file > Setup > then open ‘Setup.exe’
I am using windows 11 and my start up is telling me to restart my computer.. and my start up wont work either. Does anyone know what is going on??
I choose the res i want to run the game in and whatnot and then it just closes. I ran as an administrator because i got that error, but now it just goes away. Not sure what to do next
When I click to start the game it won’t start, saying it needs the cd to run. unless it won’t start Help !
You have to replace sims.exe with the one in crack folder.
When I did the drag and drop, the pop up to replace the file didn’t appeared. like it didn’t had a sims.exe already
You NEED to REPLACE the original Sims.exe file with the cracked version. Like you will get a message saying:
”Do you want to rename Sims.exe to Sims.exe (2)?
There’s already a file with the same name in this location.”
If you do get said message, you MUST click on [Yes]
But where is the original sims.exe file? how many kb does that file have? Is it the start file?
Should be in the sub folder called # Cracked
