The sims 3 install guide: re-download?

by Guest Thu 14 Apr 2016, 03:49

I bought the sims 3 base and exp pack ambition from origin. I want to download other expansion packs from here. I read the install guide,

1. do I still have to do step number 2: re-download and re-apply manual patch? or can I just start from step 3?
2. I already have an exp pack: ambition, do I download the others in certain order? I don't think I want to download all of them.
Will it affect anything since I have the ambition already?

Thank you in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum @vhita_mon,

First off, I'm not sure if your Origin base game can actually be used with the Ultimate fix, but feel free to try it on your own. We did have a few users who reported that there may be issues.

Yes, since the Origin game should be updated already (via the Origin-client), you can skip the manual patch. Also, it does not matter in which order you add the pirated expansions/stuffpacks.

Good luck !

Thanks for quick reply ! I'll try it out and see if it will work.

I bought the copy years ago and just now re downloading it from origin. It's still downloading, Can I download the exp packs from this site before starting the original sims? Or should I start my sims first and then install the other exp packs?

You can install the pirated expansions now ("on top" of your base game), or later - it doesn't matter.

Will it work if I put the expansion pack in a different driver? or does it need to be in the same file as the base ? my main one is getting full.

Hello,

You can install them on another hard-drive than the default C: drive. However, I strongly suggest you create the installation folders beforehand, manually. So on that other hard-drive, create folders that are named e.g. "The Sims 3 Supernatural", "The Sims 3 World Adventures", "The Sims 3 Island Paradise", etc.
