Do you need Sims 2 to play all the other Sims 2 games?

If by "other games" you mean the expansion packs, then yes. In order to install the expansion packs (Sims 2 University, etc.) you need to have Sims 2 already installed. If you don't want to spend money on that game as well as the expansion pack, find a friend who has the Sims 2 discs, and borrow them. Install the game and then install your expansion pack right afterward. That way, you don't need the regular Sims 2 disc to play with your expansion pack. You just have to have the disc for the expansion pack you installed. (However, if you ever have to uninstall the game, you'll need to borrow Sims 2 again to reinstall it.)


Do High End Loft Stuff items still work or appear if you have the expansion installed but the original CD or another expansion disc in the drive?

Yes, if you have the high-end loft stuff installed already and then you buy the sims 3 ambitions and install it, you just use the sims 3 ambitions disc and your high end loft stuff items will still work within ambitions.


Can you buy the Sims 3 Late Night and install it even though you have a a cracked version of the Sims 3?

If the disc is cracked but already installed then yes you can install the Sims 3 late night expansion pack. Since it is a more recent version of the game, just use that disc when you play the game.

Why wont my computer let me play sims 2 with your seasons disc I've just installed it but every time i click on it to play it says i have to use another disc or something?

Hiya! You might need to read the instructions mannual again. I had this problem with the Sims 2 University. If Seasons has more than 1 disc, try inserting the other disk. If that doesn't work, then try clicking on the last installed add on. (I know it's confusing.) I can only play University when I go onto Apartment Life, which was my last installed Sims related game. So if you only have Sims 2 and Seasons, try clicking on Sims 2. Good Luck, and happy Simming! :)

How do you play all of the sims 2 expansion packs at once?

All of the expansion packs are a part of one game, so after you have installed more than one expansion pack, it will just be added to the sims game that you already have. Although, you will need to run the game using the latest expansion pack of your collection
