sims cant be played on guest account

I got my sister The Sims and a bunch of expansion packs as an early christmas present, and I installed them all and I played it and it works fine on my admin account, but I have her on guest because otherwise she will install stupid things like bonzi buddy and spyware type programs, so I put her on guest to keep this from happening. But for some reason, when tryint to play the sims from guest account, when you create families and move them in somewhere, and then you go to that house, your characters arent actually there and the game cant be played. What im thinking is maybe its that shes guest and cant make changes to the files on the sims installation folder. If this is the case, how can I give her access to that one folder and nothing else? I dont want to give her admin for this game, nor do i want her using my account whenever she wants to play it. I seem to recall doing something like this before in the past, but I dont remember at all how to make it so she can access the folder. If someone could let me know that would be great. Thanks.
