12 years agoCan I install expansion packs for The Sims 3 if they're from different sources?
Here's what I mean:
I currently have The Sims 3 base game and the Night Life EP which I bought and downloaded from the Origin store. My question is: if I buy a different expansion pack (e.g. Island Paradise) from a different store or retailer (e.g., Steam, Amazon or from a retail disc), will they work together?
And if I do buy an EP from Steam (for example), will I need to have both Steam and Origin open in order to play all of my Sims games? If I buy a retail disc, will I need to have the disc in my tray in order to play it?
Basically, I'm asking if I buy the base game from one store, am I locked into buying the EPs and SPs from that same store in order for them to be compatible.
Thank you.
