Hi there!
I run Windows 10 and have all EPs and SPs, CD/DVD version. I am experiencing a number of issues.
1) When I load my neighborhood in full screen mode, I am greeted by a black screen and the cursor. I have to switch to desktop and back again in order to see the hood.
If I load my neighborhood in windowed mode, which I would strongly prefer, It becomes a full black screen that I can't switch out of and I have to shut the computer down.
2) I experience horrible glitchy water.
3) The walls flicker as such:
Combined, these effects don't render the game unplayable for me, but it's pretty annoying. I've tried to figure it out myself, but I'm way over my head.
Thanks so much.

Hi there, I had the exact same problem as you. At first couldn't even get the game to load without a compatibility error box popping up, then had the black screen. Please check out this thread: http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=7412 Following the steps for win 8 install helped with game playing and then switching over to win 7 compatibility fixed the black screen.
