Re: Makin’ Magic Error with The Sims Complete Collection. [SOLVED] by The_gh0stm4nFri 19 Feb 2016, 18:16 Hello and welcome to the forum @syythe2, Indeed, in your case you should try using the NoCD-file for running the game, instead of optical discs. Right-click on the Sims.exe (that is or should be the NoCD-file) and go to Properties.
How can I download The Sims on my PC?
Move the Sims.exe file you just download from the above link into C: > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > The Sims. If for some reason you are not able to move it in there, download the file again, move it in, and rename it to Sims.exe. Right click the Sims.exe file you just added to The Sims folder and add a shortcut to your Desktop.

Is there a way to install Sims 2 on a Mac?
Another option (if you have a Windows copy and Windows versions of The Sims/The Sims 2) is to install Windows through Boot Camp but it might be tricky if you have a Retina MacBook Pro or MacBook Air since these Macs have SSDs so I’m not sure if 128 GB will be enough to install Windows plus TS1/TS2.
Can you install Sims 1 on Windows 10?
So the Sims Complete Collection has a better chance of installing on Windows 10 than the Sims 1 base game. (I still have both the base game I bought in 2001 and the Sims Complete Collection that I bought as a backup, in storage. As soon as I figure out which box they are in, they are coming out of storage.)
Why does Sims Medieval not work on Windows 8?
For example, The Sims Medieval didn’t work on Windows 8 since the copy protection used wasn’t compatible with said OS, this was fixed in December 2013 but this added the Origin sign-in requirement. Likewise, many Games for Windows LIVE titles also didn’t work since the GFWL clients included with the games were incompatible with Windows 8.
