Installed all expansions etc., which game do I now run? I have installed The Sims 2 as well as all six expansions and all six Stuff Packs. Which game do I now run? (as I am assuming they're not all separate games)
Who's a silly doofuss, then. If you installed in the order of release then you will start the game with disc and desktop launch icon for the latest expansion pack, Bon Voyage. If you did not install in order then you might need to experiment ... although I would suggest uninstalling and then starting over but doing it in the order of release: Uni, NL, OFB, Xmas/Holiday pack, FFS, Pets, Glamour, Seasons, Celebrations, H&M, BV
Do you absolutly have to instal in the order they came out? Because I just went through a total re-install on my computer, and I installed NL, Pets, and then OFB... will that mess my game up?
It won't necessarily mess your game up. Some people get by it but it's recommended that you install them in the order that they came out. You can try your game, Peati, and if it seems to work fine then you've got nothing to worry about. If it plays up, just do a reinstall and install the EPs in order. (PS. Glad you're back, Peati! You've been awfully quiet for some time now. Where have you been?)
Yeah, sorry I didn't respond sooner, Peati. The out of order installation is not a significant problem. The works quite happily. But people wo are installing from scratch should concentrate on the following the order of release as the auto-update system can tie itself up in knots. That's not usually such a problem for extablished games where one is adding an older, missed out, EP.
