Sims issue, can anyone help?

Question

I had the Sims 1 downloaded and then Sims Vacation. It worked.

Then I downloaded unleashed, and i opened it, but it said that I downloaded an expansion after that, even though I didn't, and it wants me to uninstall everything. Please Help? If you need more info, lemme know.

Answer 1

No, you shouldn't have to uninstall. And what they meant by "installing an expansion pack after that" they mean that the Vacation expansion pack was produced later than the unleashed expansion pack. In other words, the Vacation expansion pack is newer than unleashed. The way the Sims works is that they always need the newest game disk to play the game. So even though, you only just installed unleashed, Vacation was still produced after unleashed was, and therefore, you need the Vacation disk to run the game. So just try putting in the Vacation disk and starting the game with that.

That really should work, but if it doesn't, you'll probably have to uninstall and reinstall, but I don't think you'll have to do that.
