It would be better if you install them in the order they came to the market, but it's totally up to you. You can follow the instructions on my video below, if you'd like:
Please let us know if you got everything working. Happy simming!

That's great! If you have enough disk space and bandwidth, I would suggest you download the Sims 3 Ultimate Collection, because the files are neat and perfect, besides the torrent is from G4TW and has almost everything you need.
And yes, thanks for letting us know how things are going, so we can help you better, I wish you like my video.
Happy simming!

Hum... 278 GB of free space is more than enough to have all expansions etc. But, of course, you're the boss 
I like to recommend that torrent because it's really awesome, spotless, wonderful! I had some others before and a few expansions (showtime, late night and supernatural) had CRC issues (probably a defective file in the install) and the game would crash once in a while. With the Ultimate Collection everything works impressively smoothly, it's just that awesome!
Of course, you can erase the RAR file (and the extracted installers) after you finish installing. Maybe even download them to a flash drive or somewhere else?
Anyway, happy simming, and be welcome to let's know how you're doing!

really? when i see the readme files they usually say you need like...900GB of free space or something like that
Everythings fine so far just about to extract the island paradise file
Also in your video your run the setup as an administrator do i have to do that to or does it not matter?

Good, it's not 900GB, don't worry, that would be way too much. I have everything installed and it takes 36 GB of Disk space, plus the stuff inside of The Sims 3 in the Documents folder (another 17 GB only because I have ALL store and neighborhoods installed and a bunch of saves that I accumulated along the years, plus screenshots etc).Shayla120 wrote:really? when i see the readme files they usually say you need like...900GB of free space or something like that

Yes, you should "run as administrator" preferably, to avoid issues. If your user has administrative powers (you probably have if you can install it in any way, or the system would refuse), you should be ok, but I like to "run as administrator" when I am installing things, just to assure a smooth process.
Just follow the steps carefully, do every single thing without jumping any step, and you should be fine (99.9% of cases, otherwise you can always share your problem in the Forum
).Please, let us know if you got your game running properly, so we can give you further assistance or close the topic as solved.
Happy simming!

Yes, everything should work smoothly! I would not recommend buying items from the store, since you can get them from Games4theworld Downloads for FREE!
Also, you can disable those annoying icons with store content for you to buy following the tutorial below.
Since your problem was solved, I am closing the topic now.
Have a great simming experience, and be welcome to post anytime you need anything or just want to hang out with us around!
