try install windows xp service pack 2 then install the sims 3 but there might be a chance it will erase the data of the old windows xp if all sorry if this doesn't work.
to get riverview on sims 3 you have to go to the sims store and register. You cannot NOT register. It doesnt take long and its free! So just go on and buy it and install it :)
It usually takes 15-30 minutes to install fully, but for the most part it depends on your computer speed/connection.
Sims: about 5min. for me Sims 2: about 2-3 minutes for me
Ooh! That's gonna take a while... (f you mean JUST the Sims 1 then OK, if you mean the Sims 2, its gonna take a while....) The Sims, EXPANSION PACKS - Livin' Large (Or Livin' It Up if you live in Europe) , Unleashed, Hot Date, On Holiday, House Party, Makin' Magic, Super Star. If you mean the Sims 2 - The Sims 2, EXPANSION PACKS - Nightlife, University, Seasons, Pets, Bon Voyage, Freetime, Open For Business, Apartment Life. Then the Stuff packs.
Take it back to where you got it return it and get another one
1 just 1 its easy to install first type in the serial cod and it will install it all it won't take long when it's installed click on the icon of a toy box with a diamond on it and it will start
how long does it take to install a heater core in a 2000 dodge neon
The same amount of time as Sims do.
I only know for a pc...but what is do is you put the disk in the disk slot, and a box will come up and click INSTALL...then it will take a REALLY LONG LONG time to go and then it will ask you a few things about the game and then all you have is if you want to play the game, you click PLAY if not click exit and your READY TO GO!!!!
You can't. If you want to install any expansion packs, you need to have the Sims base game installed otherwise the expansions won't work.
Because all Sims games come with a serial code, you can Google the code and use that, for example: I have the base game ( The Sims 3 ) and lost the code. So I Google: The Sims 3 serial code. Keep searching for the code ( it won't take long ) and use it to install your game. I've done it before and the game runs perfectly. No cheats, no downloads, just Google! I hope this helped and good luck installing! :)
