Re-Install Sims Mega Deluxe and Other Add-Ons

kathleen5

I dug out my original sims games and installing. I am looking for the crack code so I don't need the CD inserted to play the game and the blur code. The Mega Pack came with House Party and Hot Date. I have Vacation and Unleashed, is there an order I install Vacation and Unleashed? Thanks

If I remember correctly yes it is important to install them in the order they were released, but it's been a long time since I last played this game. If you are asking about the release order of this game, I went and looked up when they were release, and Vacation came out before Unleashed.

I'm having problems trying to get the link to show up properly.

You install Vacation before Unleashed. If you install it the other way around then when it comes to installing Vacation after Unleashed it will install Vacation, uninstall parts of unleashed, then install vacation again and finally install parts of unleashed again (sound files if I remeber correctly). Takes twice as long and the constant swapping of discs is a pain in the neck.
Also the Deluxe editions tended not to play nicely with any additional expansion packs outside of its bundle. Best of Luck.
