Are expansions with no online capabilities still compatible with create a world?
I was looking to buy some Sims 3 expansions, but the seller says the products have no online capabilities. Can I still use them with create a world ? Alos, I'm planning to buy the base, Sims 3, new...
The thing you need to bypass is Origin mainly and you don't that it if you have the old base game version.
You can have it on your computer to install all download versions and then never start it again. The new version always triggers Origin to start with the game which leads to an issue with EIG.
So basically: IF an expansion pack is enough to download CAW and download from the exchange, it probably doens't matter if the base game version is used or not (you do need the serial code though), you just can't register it. You do need the disc of the base gme though. I don't think it's possible to still get download codes (unused) for the old base game so disc is probably a must.
