No, they are all different games and can be bought separately, sims 3 being an improvement of sims 2 etc.
In sims 3 you can do a lot more but there are not many expansion packs and it is much more expensive, though it is worth the money
No, you don't.
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.
No, u don't need 2
Nope!
1. The Sims 2. 2. the Sims 2 Stories. 3. the Sims 2 Castaway.
no, if you want to install the sims 2 you do not need the sims 1 installed.
No. You also don't need Sims 2 to load Sims 3. just like you dont need halo1 to play halo2
No. You do not need SIMS I to run/load SIMS 2, although if you want to run or load an expansion pack, you will need to run it with the SIMS pack it is associated with.
The Sims 2 Life Stories cannot be used as the base game... You need sims 2, sims 2 double deluxe, or sims 2 holiday pack.
Yes you need the original Sims 2 and Sims 3 to play these games.
Well if you are talking about if it needs the sims 1, the answer is no, but for sims 2 apartment life to work, you do need either the sims 2 (regular), sims2 holiday edition, sims2 deluxe, or sims2 double deluxe!! I hope this helped!!
No, Double Deluxe is Sims 2 + Sims 2 Nightlife + Sims 2 Celebration Stuff
