The installation is not working !!!!!!! It says that you have to have sims 3 installed before? WASTE OF MONEY

You do have to have Sims3 installed first. However, at this point with Sims4 already introduced, Sims 3 should be very cheap or free.

This is an expansion pack to the original game The Sims 3. Buy the ori first then try installing this one.

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

University is an add on to Sims 3 meaning you must have the base game before you can have any of the expansion packs.

No just the pets add on. You have to pay for the the sims 3 separately. Good luck with the pets download . It took me 2 hours to download , then EA , the makers of the game, blocked my computer from m opening the add on.

I can try to help. Do you already have the base game installed? You need the base game in order to use this expansion. If you're running the game through Origin right click the game and click "game repair" that should solve any buggy issues you have. I hope this helps you in some way. If not feel free to elaborate on your question or it always helps to contact the customer support for EA games they try to be as helpful as possible because you are their customer and its in their best interest to help you if they expect your business in the future. Best of luck!

The download did not work for me. I would not buy it. Customer service for the gaming studio does not support this title anymore, you have to contact microsoft if you have any problems.

Sims...as in the game? The Sims 3 is (to the best of my knowledge) 32-bit executable and/or *nix software, which should run perfectly well. The Sims 4, when it is released, should also run without issue. The Sims 2 should also work fine, as I think it is also 32-bit. The Sims 1 might be 16-bit, so I'm not sure there. In general, the only software issues that may come up are running 16-bit launcher executables (I believe 16-bit software exes still works, but the launcher needs to be replaced or circumvented) or *nix executables, as this is a Windows machine stock.

Yes. You have to have Sims3 first. It is the basic game set-up. After you set up Sims3 then you can install any Sims3 package.

Only if the expansion you want to add is an expansion of The Sims 3, otherwise you will have to get the starter version of the expansion you bought

Try turning off your internet and turning it back on to make sure it is connected, the try red own loading the game. If you are using origin, close it and reopen then try redownloading. If that still doesn't work, restart tour computer. Contact EA if nothing works.

No. This is the PC version. You'd have to buy the MAC version. Just search 'The Sims Complete Collection Mac' I'm pretty sure there is in a Mac version for The Sims.

Well I had the hardest time, it seems that the automatic instalation plugins don't really link it to the sim if they offered a cd or sd card install I'm sure it would work but try it and please let me know maybe there is something missing in my computer.

Nevermind, I just found the replacement install cd. There are other games for this on the website too.

When first installing I had a bunch of force close issues, but I was able to make it work. If you're not set on sims 2 I would suggest 3 instead, which is made to run Windows 8.1
