The game was heavily revamped when Hot Date came out and then changed a bit with each subsequent expansion pack, and the new exe won't recognize an installation without Makin' Magic. The exe is for the most up-to-date version of the game, which is why you need Makin' Magic or The Complete Collection.You can either just save and quit whenever you want to look at something else, rather than Alt-Tabbing, or you can go to the tutorial by Pleasant Sims and follow her instructions for applying a patch that makes graphical changes. It's a known feature of the game that there are graphical glitches if you Alt-Tab out of the game while playing, or if you let the game load while minimized to the tray. Once you have that version of sims.exe set up, start the game FROM that sims.exe, not from the disc.The version of the sims.exe that you download from this page has the DRM disabled, so THAT version of the exe doesn't get shut down by Windows when you try to run it.
