Hello gaeaskye,
At the moment, SimCity Social, Sims Social and The Sims 3, its expansion packs and its stuff packs are the only Sims games supported on these boards.
However, I would suggest you make sure your files are not corrupted, or zipped, or in the wrong format at some point. They should appear exactly as the other regions in order to work fine for you.
If you would like to see other Sims games supported here, you can suggest it on the Idea Exchange. Best ideas will be periodically reviewed and implemented.
Someone already suggested supporting some of these games there, so why don't you express your support for their idea?

I'm having problems playing my simcity 4 game, I would download like normal and it would ask for play disc.and I would switch to the other CD and nothing would happen it would ask for play CD. And this process would repeat over and over again. My other cds sim society would work fine not my simcity. I tried returning it for an exchange and the store doesn't sell them anymore.

Hello, I am having a hard time re-installing simcity4 on our computer, 6-8 months ago we bought the sim city box at walmart. we installed everything and registered it and enjoyed it very much. Then about 4 months later we lost our harddrive to a mechanical problem. Now we have a new hard-drive and want to install our game again so we can play and it will not let us. it says our registration number is not legal (assumingly because we have already registered it.) Can anyone offer some advise as to how to use the game that we have PAID for?

I am having a similar issue, we had it installed and working fine, then our hard drive died, now we have a new hard drive and have been trying to re-install and it says our registration code is illegal.

I uninstalled Sim City 4 about 6 months ago and am trying to reinstall it back on to Origin. The game is still on there because I purchased it from Origin, but every time I try installing it, it gives me this message: Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. I'm not sure what's going on. There has to be someone who knows what this means or a way around it! (Running Widows Vista if that makes any difference) Btw, I didn't find any where to select Sim City 4 on your "Select Product" section when making this.
