Hi, I found a solution for your issues.
Hough, to refer the papers of John Keith - - - - Harper, improvement of the Ohio river above the falls * bridge at Wheeling ------ increase of Jeremiah Sims's pension. 5) - Ingersoll, J. R., to relieve judges of Supreme Court from holding circuii courts, &c. Title to Pea Patch island - - - - reduce number of members requisite in.
I had the same problem as you did while installing the game in Windows 7 - in my case, an Adobe process was clashing with the game setup. I found that by coincidence after closing some adobe processes in the task manager and tried to install the game just after. If you don't have adobe creative cloud, I suggest you try stopping every unnecessary process until the game installs fine. After the installation is complete and you just want to play the game, the process won't interfere any more.
Next issue: Windows 10 is having a problem with old games in which it fails to verify if the game's original CD is in the driver, not opening the game. To fix that, you just need a mod to play the game without the CD. You can find it here:
Instructions on getting it working:
1.) Make sure you already have the game installed on your computer.
2.) Go to :C > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > Sims. Rename the Sims.exe to sims.old. Make sure you keep this file in case the new one doesn't work.
3.) Download the file and move the new Sims.exe to the same folder (:C > Program Files (x86) > Maxis > Sims).
4.) Launch, run the game in compatibility mode if necessary.
UPDATED:
Next issue (solved): Windows 10 is making playing this game a complete nightmare. Errors when saving the household, video bugs, etc. To solve the problem, simply right click on the Sims.exe file and click properties. In the properties window, select compatibility. I chose Windows 7 and to always run it as an administrator. DONE! The game is working 100% fine. So happy!
Hope this helps!
