Sims 1

I have The Sims 1 Complete Collection, and am using an Acer with Vista
Premium 64x (to my knowledge, there's a folder that specifies 64x & I'm
honestly not computer savvy).

I loaded the Sims onto the computer, and when ever I switched to a
different neighborhood (neighborhood three was the biggest culprit), the
pop ups for the patches for the expansion packs would run repeatedly. I
wasn't unable to stop them or exit Sims, so I restarted the machine,
uninstalled the game, and then reinstalled. Now it's only running the
script whenever I swap back and forth between neighborhoods, but it is
not saving any changes I make to houses or even the tutorial house with
the Newbies. Can anyone help me in getting this to work? I understand if
I can't move the families I had, but I'd at least like to be able to
start over a new game. x_x

For the error message, all it gives me is a generalized message that
the house/game ran into an error and was unable to save.
