Are the sims 3 eu games compatible with the US

I bought my games in Germany because I lived there at the time. However now I live in the U.S. and it's rather hard to get the german version here, so if I buy new expansion pack in the US will they work with the games I already have?

    Hi katjas111,

    The Sims 3 for Windows and Mac OS X is region free. Consoles such as the Wii are region locked.

     

    But some languages will not work with other languages (e.g. Japanese text on English Sims 3 will appear as underlines). That will not be a problem with the German version of the game, though. 😕mileywink:

     

    You can always register all your games here:

    https://www.thesims3.com/registeragame.html

     

    They will show up in your Origin client after that and you can download the language version of your choice.

     

    Hope that helps!
