The Sims 2 Collection Expansions

Hello, I have been following the correct order of downloading and patching the expansions, but I want to stop after downloading university, open for business, pets, and seasons because im not interested in having the other expansions (for computer space and  nostalgia purposes )
Would my game still work if i stopped there?

Hello and welcome to the Forum @cryingfriend,


The torrent is by default meant to be used in its entirety (a.k.a. with all DLC expansions installed), but if you only want to install "up to" Seasons, that is also possible, but you will have to apply a NoCD-file specially for the Seasons-expansion. 

You can find a more detailed procedure on what to do, when not all expansions are wanted, here (including a link for an archive file with all NoCD-files, from each DLC):

You only have to use the NoCD-file for the "latest" expansion that you install, which will be Seasons. I believe the location where that .exe file goes to is C:\Program files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Seasons\TSBin. There, overwrite the existing file, and then run the game from that .exe file.

Good luck!
