expansions

ok quick question, i have the ultimate fix, now does that include the expansions or do i download and install all the expansions seperately and then apply the ultimate fix when everything is finished?, as well i have a torrent for the world adventures but it has patches and cracks to update to newer versions and stuff but no straight up setup.exe, so i am confused as to how to get these expansions installed and then use the ultimate fix

Hello,

The Ultimate Fix doesn't have the expansions' installations, just the original and cracked files.
But everything you need to know can be found here: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Side note: Games4theworld downloads can be opened and installed as follows:

Open the .rar file you downloaded using only WinRar, which can be downloaded from www.games4theworld.org . (If you use any other software than WinRar, like WinZip or 7-zip, the files will get messed up!)
When you've opened the file using WinRar, select áll the files in it and drag & drop them to a folder on your Desktop. When the extraction is done, close the .rar file and open the folder on your Desktop. Now, start by reading the included "# Installation Guide.txt" and you should be able to get the game to work yourself. Good luck!

ok so i go through and get all the expansions i want from that site, un rar them to a seperate folder, follow the instructions given, then when ive finished installing all the expansions, i use the ultimate fix so that they will all work?

//EDIT

also side question, do i have to bother doing anything with the sims 3
base game files in the ultimate fix if i already have the legal copy
fully updated?

Hello,

That's pretty much it, yes. DO NOT forget to use the latest version of the manual patch, as described in that topic.

Also, you do not need any of the folders in the Fix, except for the "# Crack" folder. (Even if you're using an original copy of the base game) See step 3 and 4: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Good luck!
