Legit copy of game - cracked EP?

lebananaqueen wrote:Hi! So I finally bought The Sims 3 after a long time with the cracked version i downloaded from you guys. I tried to install the cracked EP's to it, and it worked. (atleast i think so...) But now when I start the game, the launcher says "Base game is incompatible with current expansion pack"...I then click update, and it says it can't connect to Origin. (Which makes sense, since i dont have the expansion packs from there...) I have no idea how to fix this! I need help! 

Here's my list of expansion packs if it matters: 

Ambitions
Diesel Stuff
Fast Lane Stuff
Generations
High-End Loft Stuff
Island Paradise
Late Night
Outdoor Living Stuff
Pets
Seasons
Showtime
Supernatural
Unviersity Life

Thanks!

Did you buy the Steam version of The Sims 3 (basegame) ? If so, then it doesn't work with our expansions. But why would you buy the base game of Sims 3 anyway, if you seemingly had a cracked base game in the past ?

Hello,

If you can't get it working, uninstall that bought game again, and re-install our cracked Sims 3 base game. You will also want to follow this guide here too:

Thanks for the quick reply! No, it's the Origin version. And I bought it because of mods... but maybe they work on pirated versions as well...?

I guess your version of the Sims 3 base game is the "newer" one that really needs Origin open to run. See this post here:
http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2014/02/sims-3-base-game-versions.html

Your base game might be the one that is called there "Version after September 2012". In which case I am unsure if you can use our Ultimate fix (and expansion packs) on that version.

You might really need to resort back to the base game from Games4theworld, sorry.

Well, I got myself a refund, (very fast actually!) and i've started the download again. One last question: will mods work with the g4tw base game + ep?

Other than that, there is no technical difference.

Good to hear ! And yes, you can use mods in a pirated base game + expansions. I myself have everything torrented from G4TW. And I use lots of mods, without any problem.

Really, the only differences between the Sims 3 stuff from G4TW, and the legit Sims 3 stuff are: in G4TW's games you do NOT need to insert a physical CD (or run Origin) to run the game. Plus, you cannot use the "Simport"-feature in a cracked Sims 3 (you'd need at least one legit game/expansion of TS3). 

Other than that, there is no technical difference.
