If you bought the sims complete collection and you install it and then play it and it loads fine but then at the neighberhood screen the pop ups change go away then pop up again. if you have that problem then then when you ever want to play it, right click the shortcut (or the whatever alpication starts the game) and click run as administrater. the popups should appear when you get to the neighberhood screen but once they disapear they shouldnt come back and you can now play. if this dosent work i dont know what to tell ya. Others may post there problems and fixes here too for this game.
