Original The Sims 3 - Can I install torrent expansions? [SOLVED]

Hello everyone!

I'm quite new to this, so excuse me if it is a stupid question..
I have a legal, The Sims 3 disc version, registered and all.. But loosing my job last month didnt make me desire the expansion less, but not having the money for them, and now LOOOOOTS of time, I would like'em.. Can I just download and install the torrents as described, without having any impact when it's all registered and all? And what about a "no disc" crack for my original The Sims 3 too? Is it just the file in the pack from you inhere?

Thanks in advance!

Well I never downloaded anything using origin but I also have a legit base-game and the torrent expansions work fine. Base is still registered with EA. Hope that helps you.

So, if I download'em ALL, because you have been so awesome to share them, I can just leave the base-game as it is, and it can still update and all?

Btw. I had a friend make a no-cd crack to my base-game it its newest version: 1.33.2.015002 - it worked perfectly, but I couldnt find it anywhere so I will be more than happy to share it if you need it? <------ Does it have any effect on installing the expansions?

Hello,

Yes, but in order to update safely, you'll need the latest version of our Ultimate Fix, which gets updated after each new game version release: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t752-the-sims-3-ultimate-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems
No need to insert any discs, no need to mount anything, no need to use any cracks except for the Ultimate Fix. (It already includes the latest working crack)

If your game is cracked already, it won't affect the installation of the other expansions in any way.

Please let us know the final result and don't hesitate to let us know if you need any more assistance!

Ty VERY much! I will start the process tomorrow, since it's late here in Denmark, and I am sooo tired! I'll be back soon with an update, or if I have further questins about it..

Have a nice friday evening!

Hello,

You too!
And don't worry, we're here if you need us.

Ty... This must be one of the nicest and best forums, and fastet answering I have ever been on!! Keep up that good work!

I have now downloaded all the packages.. Do you recommend starting with anyone in particular?

Assuming your base is already up to date, you can start with any of them. Don't use any of the cracks though!

Okay, so I start out with the fix that Admin linked, and then just install everyone of the extras and expansions, without crack?
(Just to be sure, would be shame if I did it wrong after all... )

Okay, thank you Lady ElDi!! I'll start now then..

I will... Btw, I have a question.. My niece told me that after installing expansions I have to run The Sims 3 from another shortcut than the base game, fx. Sims 3 Pets, (she has them all in original) is that correct? Thanks in advance..

Okay, I'm now ready to use the ultimate fix, but I wanna hear if I have to replace the files in every expansion and base game, when my base game is original? Thank you..

Done! I'm gonna try running it, right now! Ty Lady ElDi

It works perfect! I was nerveous because it said there was a new patch I should doenload for one of the expansions in order to play, but I just downloaded it, and it works absolutely fine! I can't thank you enough!!

Hello,

Glad to hear it's working now! Thank you Lady ElDi!

Happy simming and remember: never hesitate to contact us if you ever run into any problems!
