#How to install sims 2 expansion packs on windows 10 install#
People who don't have Double Deluxe or the Collections will obviously have more discs.Īs linked in my original post uptopic, I followed the install order as suggested by EA. So I have every expansion and Stuff Pack that was released for the game. The only Stuff Packs that I have individually are Glamour Life Stuff and Happy Holiday Stuff, because neither of those were included in Double Deluxe or the Collections. I have Sims 2 Double Deluxe and all three Collections (University, Business, Pets), which in addition to Double Deluxe include most of the Stuff Packs. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page for Sims 2, which has information on all releases for the game, including release dates, everything included in the three Collections and other useful info. There were no issues during the install.įor the sake of anyone interested, here are some details of the install: Thanks to everyone who responded in this thread. Here we are three weeks later and yesterday I finally reinstalled the game. This would tell a player that they are up-to-date with the last/final patch.

Is there a final patch version number for this game and where within the game would I find that? This is something else I've never been able to figure out about the Sims games, why there apparently is no place that lists a final version number, like with all other computer games I've ever played. That's why I don't even bother with MTS with this kind of stuff because much of their info is outdated, inaccurate or just plain wrong. Patching a base game whenever there is a new release is normal standard operating procedure for software publishers, but there's always such conflicting opinions about the Sims games, much of it from people who don't have a clue what they're talking about. I don't think I had to last time did this. I also have the Double Deluxe base game, and since this was released later than anything other than Mansions & Gardens, I'm hoping I don't have to install any patches for the earlier expansions. I know I didn't install things in the order suggested at the link in my OP the last time I did this, I only knew that if I ended up using the Pets Collection CD at the end (which includes the final expansion, Mansions & Gardens), I was okay. Yeah, doing this only every few years is the problem I have too, because you forget exactly how it's done. From what I recall, the patches for earlier games were included in the later games, so it was just a matter of maybe patching M&G at the end.īut again, I haven't done that install in years. I don't remember ever being concerned about install order.

I haven't started the installation yet, but I'd like to know how to properly do it before I start. So, I've downloaded the 4 patches, but do I also need to download the individual patches for the expansions and stuff packs?

At first, it looks like there are only 4 patches, but on second glance it's apparent that each of those 4 actually has sub-patches (for lack of a better term) for individual expansions and stuff packs. However, like most things dealing with the technical aspects of this game, this patches page is a little confusing. The EA representative advised to patch whenever prompted, and the patches can be found here: The install order for all the expansions and stuff packs I found quickly with a Google search here: After almost a year without Simming, or in my case mostly Lot making, I'm getting ready to reinstall Sims 2.
