Do expansion packs replace the base game?
I was just wondering, once you add an expansion pack, does it basically replace the base game? For example, I have the Pets pack and so the application I have to press on to get to the launcher is pets, the loading screen/welcome is pets, and the disc I have to put in is pets. I have no icon/application for the base game anymore, and if I try and use The Sims 3 game disc, it won't let me play. Yet The Sims 3 is the one with a file on my computer, and Pets does not have it's own folder. What would happen if I got another expansion, would the pets icon disappear and I'd have to do everything through the new expansion? Would they combine and I could have pets in the new expansions world? Just curious to know how exactly it all works.(:
pets is your newest installed game it combines with the sims 3 base game (the one you had first )for playing the game always plays from the newest installed released expansion or stuff pack lets say for example you get supernatural as that would be the newest installed game that will combine with sims3 and pets and you play from that one BUT lets say for example later on you buy generations that too will combine with the others but you will still play from supers because generation is older than the other games and supers is the newest installed released game the game always plays from the newest installed released game
any world that comes with a pack will be in a drop down menu say for example at the moment you have two worlds sunset valley the base game one and appaloosa plains the pets one you can select either world to play in in the main menu of the game is a +new game if you click on that a drop down menu will show up and you can select either world to play in if you choose to play in sunset valley and as you have pets animals will show up in sunset valley
