Why do i have to buy the first orginal sims 3 to be able to play sims 3 pets? also is sims 3 seasons a substitute for the sims 3(the first game)?

You have to have the base game in any Sims series to play any of the expansions. Seasons is an expansion so no it is not a substitute.

All of The Sims 3 games, ie seasons, are expansion games of the original game. They add new features to the original game play. If you want to wait, Sims 4 is planned for release at the end of the year.

If you do a clean install you shouldn't have a problem. Sounds like your sims game is failing. Possibly you installed 64 bit and originally had 32bit?. That might be the problem with your game.

This is the base game. There is an expansion but it isn't needed in order to play. I would actually suggest getting familiar with the base game before getting the expansion, if you even want to, later. The expansion gives you these neat petri dishes to hold some of the game pieces in and has a few more job titles and such.

Like all pets now . Each pet is one per character on your account . Two chas =2 pets ect . Each charechteristics will only have one pet

It's not necessary to purchase the expansion packs in any particular order. They are just additional and answer cards. I would recommend that the basic game set be purchased first, if you haven't already, as the expansion packs do not contain enough cards to play the game well.

Yes, you have to already own the Sims 3 core game. This particular game is a expiation pack.

Well in my previous posts you can read the proper steps for installing. Ok the game that you had was Sims 3? By itself? if so there are going to be different software #'s associated with each game regardless of whether this is the same game. Are you talking about the Starter pack all together?

hi. yes, it will work as long as you have the latest version of the sims 3. so update the game first before playing.

I have a windows 8 it works jus fine you can check this site to see if The Sims 3 runs on your computer. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ when you reach the site just type The Sims 3 and it will tell you if it can work. Because it really depends on the graphics and other hardware. Good luck

This isn't sims 2 this is the first sims game that includes all the expansion packs for it. No it does not include a apartment life pack.

You would have to pirate the game or use a peripheral CD drive. Check the running specifications of The Sims game you're trying to play - the laptop may not be powerful enough

We actually played w the first set for the past year, no expansion packs. It was fun bc there are so many possible variations. I did get the first and second expansion packs for my daughter this holiday; but I really think you play for a while w/o the expansion packs.

That is just the addd-on. You needed to get the original game that included the expansions. Now you have to buy disc with original game.

Yes that is the case. Island Paradise is an expansion pack and expands on the Sims 3 Base game. You'll need to have the Sims 3 before you can run and play Island Paradise.
