Problems:

Does not work with Limited User accounts. The applications try to write to normally restricted areas of the system.

Workarounds:

Grant Modify access for the Users local group to the following folders:

C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Maxis

This workaround may expose your The Sims installation to abuse by limited users.
