I have a brand new Gateway computer barely a year old and it came with all the sims
games up to vacation, and I have since purchased all other expansions including "
Makin' Magic ", and they all work fine. I have never had to download any patches
of any kind. I also am running Windows xp (Home Addition). I wish I could help out
with a solution. All I can think of is go to Gateway and maybe ask someone there
for assistance, as they sell The Sims line with their computers and maybe know the
trick.
