SimCity 4 Disc

★★★ Newbie

Thank you for reading this post.

 

I recently found my old SimCity Box, and was lucky to have both SimCity Deluxe Discs and a Registration Key. After successfully installing it onto my Windows 8 laptop, I had trouble running the program. Is there any way I can run the game off of the disc or is the disc useless now?

 

-Thanks

@Ottomate37 Hi, hopefully you can run it by using a compatibility mode. This should let you play older content.

For this content I'd try running the game in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode

 

Thanks for the post, please let us know how you get on.
