I have Windows 7. I successfuly installed the Sims 2 Double Deluxe, or at least my computer said it did. But when I click on the icon to play the game, I get the error message: "The Sims 2 Double Deluxe is not installed or improperly installed on your machine. But the error message keeps popping up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times but it still won't work!

Somebody please help me!!!!!!!!!!! Cookiegal Karen. Malware Specialist Coordinator. Insert the installation disc for the first expansion you have on the list above.
Follow the prompts to install it. Patch the expansion. You will need to patch each expansion with the latest version if you want to run them on modern operating systems. You can download patches at ModTheSims or other Sims fan sites.
This will help you keep track of which ones have been updated. Move on to the next expansion. Continue down the list, installing and patching each expansion you want to use. When you are finished, use the shortcut for the latest by release date, not installation date expansion you have installed to play the game.
Part 2. Log in as the administrator and go onto Origin. Make sure you actually already have 'The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection' on your account. Right-click on the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection and click "Download". Choose the language, agree to EULAs, and proceed. Part 3. Diagnose the issue. The Sims 2 was not designed to run on operating systems past Windows XP — Double Deluxe and packs released after it do officially work on Windows Vista, but players tend to run into more issues than on Windows XP.
Do not play from disc on Windows 10 unless you already installed from disc on an earlier Windows OS and are just upgrading to Windows If your Sims 2 games and expansions work fine, then you can ignore this section. If you are receiving compatibility errors, changing the compatibility mode may resolve them. Right-click on the shortcut.
Make sure that you are right-clicking on the shortcut for the latest expansion that you have installed, as this will be the one you run when you play the game.
Select Properties. In the Properties window, click the "Compatibility" tab. Select the operating system. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" box and then use the drop-down menu to select Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Check the "Run this program as an administrator" box to ensure that your computer runs Sims 2 using the administrator account. Start the game. Once you've set the compatibility settings, you can try running the game by double-clicking the icon as usual. The Sims 2 has a finicky relationship with Windows 7, 8 and 10, and there is no clear reason as to why it works on some machines and not others. However, higher-end computers are known to be too overpowered for the game without modifications.
Troubleshoot a game that still won't work. There are a lot of reasons that Sims 2 might not be working, even after changing the compatibility mode. Sims 2 was not designed for modern operating systems, so your results will most likely vary.
Some suggest that using integrated motherboard graphics instead of a dedicated graphics card can cause it to fail. Having a bit version of Windows may cause issues, but it has been proven to work on some bit systems. Many people report better results with Windows 8. I keep downloading the patch discs and it keeps uninstalling automatically due to an error. Why is it doing that and what should I do?
