Sim 3 expansions quick question

Hello,

Yes you can install the expansions that are available from "Games4TheWorld".

Do it this way, if you have already installed the "base game":


1) Apply the "manual patch": https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1870-can-t-update-the-sims-3-to-v155-fix-manual-patch

2) Download and install at least one of the following expansions:

Island Paradise, University Life, 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff, Seasons, Supernatural, Diesel Stuff, Katy Perry Sweet Treats, Showtime, Master Suite Stuff, Pets, Town Life Stuff, Generations

3) Re-apply the manual patch (even if it says that your game is "updated already") !

4) Download and apply the "Ultimate fix". as described in steps 3 and 4: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly


And that should be it ! Good luck

P.S. Next time, if you have a question about The Sims, do NOT post it in "PC Downloads support" section. Post it where it says "The Sims (3) in-game problems/downloads support".
