Actually, its much better not to have the first one installed. It may cause problems on your computer!!! Happened to me...I had to re-download all of my extension packs...ugh. Anyway, you have to uninstall the normal sims (title: Sims 2) and re-load the Sims 2 Double Deluxe! Back up your saved games to disc if you don't want to loose them.
You shouldn't be downloading The Sims in any kind of order because that is software pirating and it is illegal. This is because The Sims, in any version, is not offered as Shareware or Freeware - it is only available in Retail, which costs money. Getting it any other way besides as a gift from someone else or a purchase yourself is the same as stealing because you are getting it for free.
However, you do have install each of The Sims expansion and stuff packs in the order in which they were released.
no, just buy sims 2 and play!
No, you don't.
No, u don't need 2
Yes you don't need sims 1
Nope. You just need all the Sims 2 discs. So to answer your question, no, the sims 1 is not required in order to play the Sims 2.
The sims cannot be teenagers ismply in the sims 1, but the sims 1 fans made a program, what if you install it, the sims can be teenagers. You can download the program, if you search for it.
Unfourtunatley there is no such thing as Sims Online because The Sims requires a download and in order to download it you'd have to purchase it from a store because it also requires a CD & a bar code.
crol
No, because the sims 2 is a separate game to the sims 1, not an expansion pack. So buy, its great :-)
Apparently , you can't download it for free . You just have to go to the store and bought the CD. They don't allow to download those until there's some new software have been released . For example : The sims 1 is really really old . So when the sims 2, the sims 3 came out . The people lost interest about the sims 1 so the gamecreator let them download the sims 1 for free ! Just go to the store and buy it, there's no way you could download it for free .
I ordered the complete edition and it does not have disk 1 but I have an original copy of the sims. Since you need disk 1 to put the other disks on the game, can I just use my original sims disk?
The Sims 8 in 1 is the Sims 1, and all the expansions in one big (usually 3 part) file. It's free for download.
you can't download it you have to buy the sims in order to play it and they don't make the first ever sims game anymore unless you like me and have most of the sims ever sims PC games ever made of sims that you couldn't be able to install it on the upgraded software today
