When I hit buy/download I see it says it is for vista/xp. I have windows 7- will it work on that?

Yes. What you need to do first is download and install origin. After that, you put in your license code and it won't matter what version you are using it will download the appropriate software for your computer. I currently have ambitions installed on Windows 8.

Yes, all Sims 3 games (Base game, Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs) Will work on Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

I can only confirm that it works on Windows XP, Vista, and 7. I have e-mailed the manufacturer and will let you know as soon as I have a response.

Despite what others will say, you can. You have to run it in compatibility mode for WinXP-32bit (Or previous Windows if it gives you the option). This worked for me in windows Vista/7. If you're running Win8 I can't say for sure. There might have been another thing to install (A roommate stole my disk so I can't try) some quick googling should help.

No, it is for Windows XP only. I found out the hard way. I didn't realize that until I purchased and downloaded it and it will not work on my Windows 7. After I downloaded I found the fine print that said Windows XP only.

I am using it with Windows Vista Ultimate, so it should work with Windows 7.

It works with Windows XP Pro, I don't see anywhere that says on the disc that it works only with specific versions, although I didn't get the box. It is a great game, & if it doesn't, u can ask Amazon to exchange it or issue you credit. It's a win-win situation.

It's a CD. If it's the 2013 version it works on Windows XP, which is what I have. Of course it works on Windows 7.

It doesn't run on my PC with windows 7. So l put it on an xp machine and it works fine.

I think so..everything that has said was for XP has been installed on the Vista. Got this for my daughter and her family and they play it all the time so I'm sure it does.

It only works on my XP. Will not work on my Windows Vista. I had to send the one I bought from Amazon. I like it more than any I have and it is too bad the do not have an up to date version.

I've installed the software on both an WinXP machine and a Win7 64 bit one. Only two suggestions, first make sure you've got the right software (I mean 64 bit or 32 bit) since the drivers are different. Secondly, and this is a tip for most Vista program installations. Instead of just running the installer, right click on it and choose "Run as administrator' very often that gets around installation issues.

You'll have to visit their website and download the appropriate software because out of the box, it only supports up to WIndows 7, but when I switched it from my Vista to my windows 8, all I did was download the correct software from the site and it worked like a charm. Hope this helped.

It will not work on anything newer than Widows XP, maybe Vista. But not Win 7.

Brenda, I purchased this product in 2010 and my computer had Vista... I am not sure if this will work for you.. they may have done some updates to their program. I would check into it first. That being said... I do love the program. I am sure if they have done any updates it will be just as good....

I am asking the same question! For some reason, I can't get a reply either. I am *assuming* since it works on Win. Vista, it will on Windows 7, since they are so similar. But remember, that's assuming. I guess I, or another guinea pig, has to be the first to try. I am still trying to search the internet for this info.
