Difficulties with old games from the 2000's and 1990's are usually a big problem when playing those type of games on windows 8 and later systems, now as time passes these games often get a patch or a remaster or someone just fixes the problem. Take Max Payne 1 for example, the game on windows 8 will play awfully when you first downloaded it but when you do a Google search to find out the issue you'll come a across a fix and the problem is dealt with.
But in my perspective I had have a issue with the sims 1, a game that EA has left in a dusty box in their loft. This game is old, really old but it seems not many people play it but I do because its better than the other sims games you get today (In my opinion of course and the sims 2 isn't bad either). So when ever I play the sims 1 and I decide to go back to desktop to just browse the internet or something, I will then go back into the sims 1 with this problem:

This issue is so frustrating like trying to fight the handymen on hard mode in Bioshock infinite. How exactly can I fix this issue? I have tried compatibility modes and run as admin but that doesn't work. Another problem I have with the sims 1 is that if I play it with steam the steam Tab + shift preference does not work at all but meanwhile back in windows 7 it did work. This is really confusing and I would like to have someone help me and fix this issue right away. Thank you.
