Sims 3 under Windows 7
TashaYarrr:
I had Vista for a while, finally formatted it and reinstalled XP in a fit of whateverness (well, mostly retardation as it meant I was no longer utilizing all my RAM); I've probably managed to SecuRom myself on this XP install so I was planning on wiping it soon anyway. I'm glad to hear it is working well for you all.
Does it still have UAC?

Yes, but now you can tweak it so it doesn't bother you as much. You can still turn it off completely as well.

There are 4 settings now:
Always Notify - Windows Vista mode, notifies you whenever you make a setting that will affect all users.
Sometimes Notify - Windows 7 Default, you can make changes to system settings but you still need to elevate when copying a file into a system protected folder.
Sometimes Notify (No dim screen) - The same as Sometimes Notify except that UAC will not cause the Secure Desktop to activate on a UAC prompt.
Never Notify - Windows XP mode, UAC is effectively disabled. You must use Run as... to elevate and Administrator accounts can do whatever they want on the system.
You still can't tell it to remember any settings or have it protect anything other than C:/Windows, C:/Program Files, or your user folder from other users though. For that, you'll still need to use a HIPS.

And the beauty about UAC is that you can turn it down or off with out having to reboot the PC.
I used vLite on one of my builds to remove the secondary administrator account, so that I didn't need to 'run as administrator' with some apps, even though I was admin.
And added the reg key and some other things to it, so it would install with out needing my attention.

My Windows 7 RC 7100 still makes me reboot when I turn off UAC. Well, it doesn't make me reboot on the spot, it's like Vista where it says changes won't take place until after I reboot.
