Hi @tracy111222,

 

As time goes by, software that was developed for older versions of Windows could have issues to work in newer versions. Compatibility mode is usually your friend in these cases.

 

  • The Sims 1 - Try to install it and run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP. However, I can not guarantee it will work as it is an old game. The Sims Complete Collection should work right, but you may face some issues if you have an older version of The Sims.
  • The Sims 2 - Your best option is to install The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, or a digital copy of the game. If you have your game in CDs but not in Origin, you could get in contact with one of our advisers and ask if they could help turning your physical games to digital.
  • The Sims 3 - You shouldn't have issues if you redeem your codes in Origin and install the game through Origin.
  • The Sims 4 - You shouldn't have any issues Standard smile

Does that answer your question?

-Mai

HI. The original Sims -- even if you have it on disk WILL NOT WORK with Windows 10. It has something to do with the DRM coding. Windows cannot read that.
