Not sure if it's the right thread, but it's about this game: . It can still be downloaded today, even though it seems it was discontinued long time ago?

Anyway, I got a bit of nostalgia for playing Sim Brothel games and I remembered this game. I still had it backed up from when I used to play it, 10 years was it?
It probably was on Windows 7 or something. But the problem I'm having right now, I can't seem to launch it on Windows 10. All online guides talk about launching such game in Compatibility Mode? I've tried already and none of the compatibilites options worked.

Anyone can share some insights on what might be causing this problem? If it REALLY proves to be unlaunchable on W10, I'll just set up my old laptop with Windows XP still on it, but it'd be really more convenient to play on my current PC.

It's a 13 years old 32bits software relying on a 20yo dll for its sound and a 16yo one for its image management... Don't expect much chance to launch it.

Thanks! I'm not that tech-savvy, so having it explained so clearly makes it easy to understand. I have no further questions now.
