Sim City 3000 Language Patch
I have some old video games I haven't played in a while that I tried installing on my laptop which originally had Windows 8 but now has 10.
Specifically, Sim City 3000 Unlimited, The Sims 1 and Sim City 4 installed successfully, but they do not respond when I click to launch them, or they display an error message about needing to be an administrator, even though I am. I previously played these games on a Windows 7 laptop.
I found this video that has a link to download a patch for Sims, but it works only if you have ALL of the expansions. I have none of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1DEchthl2M
And no, compatibility mode didn't work with any of these games.
Any way possibly to get these games to work? I'd hate to have to buy a old Windows 7 laptop to play them.
Game Description: With SimCity 3000, you have more power than ever before to build and control your city! Recreate your version of the world's greatest cities using landscapes such as San Francisco or Berlin and landmark buildings like the Empire State Building or Big Ben.
UPDATE: I came across an old laptop with Windows 7. I first tried to install The Sims, which completed successfully. But again, no response when launching, including in compatibility mode.

Next, I tried Sim City 3000. The install took a long time and froze a couple of times. During this time, I got an error saying the application uses CTL3D32.DLL which has not correctly been installed. The install continued on until I got an unspecified copy error. When the install was nearly complete, the process aborted.

Finally, I tried Sim City 4 Deluxe. It installed succesfully, but when I attempt to launch it, I get an error saying please login with administrator privileges and try again. Again, I am an administrator, and I right clicked Run As Administrator and got no response. It also refused to launch in compatibility mode.
