This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Can't Turn Off Enable Usage Sharing
Every time I go to options, either from main menu or in-game, and turn off Enable Usage Sharing and click accept and go back to look at the options again then there it is checked on again. I want it off. How do I keep it off?

Also, and I know this'll sound strange, but when you go to start your game - click on the shortcut and choose to start with administrator privileges.

For whatever weird reason, the Usage Sharing option won't stick if you don't do this. I only figured this out a year or so again from a random post online. But it really works, try it.
You have been chosen. They will come soon.
