Hi dm,
Try the advice in this forum:
http://pub189.ezboard.com/fsimshostfrm21.showMessage?topicID=273.topic
They seem to have patches available there, advice about video codices, and
also, there was mention there about having to upgrade from Home to Pro in
order to be able to play Sims Deluxe... it seems the Sims aren't so simple.
