Legit base game with pirated expansions, and other torrents.

Okay, so I bought The Sims 3 about 3 years ago, but never any of the expansions. Now I'm thinking about downloading them, but I'm not sure do they work with a retail copy of the game. I did some search on Google and found some answers, but no-one actually confirmed would they work. Most of the people said "maybe" or "probably", but I don't want to download them just to find out that they ain't working. I found nothing from this forum

Secondly, Can I download some other group's, like Skidrow and FLT's versions and use the fix from here with them? You see, I'm getting pretty slow speeds from here, and I though of downloading them from elsewhere, but I'm not sure if the fix is optimized for your version of the game, or does it even matter which site you got the expansion from.

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, torrents will work just fine with retail versions of the game(s), as long as the torrents are not modified. (All Games4theworld torrents are original and non-modified)
Our Ultimate Fix also works with all non-modified versions of the game(s).
If you want everything to work just fine together, be sure to follow these instructions: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly
