The sims castaway stories windows 10

★★★ Novice

Hello, I have had my PC for over 10 years (I do plan to buy an updated one when I have cash buts alas) and works fine, it was windows 7 but upgraded to windows 10 and can no longer revert back to windows 7.  I had the Sims 2 Castaway stories installed before the update to windows 10 and it worked fine but uninstalled it when I didn't play it.  Years later I find it again and install it in windows 10 but it won't let me past the screen on learning how to play the game, so I tried to load in how to build and the application keeps crashing.  Is there anything i can do fix this?  I have looked for help but it focuses on the sims 2 which isn't a problem as they work fine, 

 

thanks!

Hi @Pucaroo16,

 

We can try to make the game run in compatibility mode, that might help.

 

You would need to right click on the game shortcut and select Properties. That will open a window, go to Compatibility tab and check the option to run the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7. Apply the changes and try to play again, does it work now? Standard smile

No I have tried that and it didn't work but I am just going to convert back to windows 7 so that will sort the problem, thank you though for helping :D
