The Sims 1 expansion packs questions...

So, i recently bought an expansion pack, completely forgetting that i have to buy the sims 1 game for the expansion pack to work. Geez... Anyway, i have the sims livin' large/living it up expansion pack, but not the sims 1 game. Lol. How many expansion packs for the sims 1 and the sims 2 is out there? What order do they go in? I am wanting to buy them all (used for the pc) but i have no idea what order or how many of them i am looking at for the sims 1. Later, i will get the entire sims 2 set. Oh, also, what is everyone talking about with codes and stuff? Sorry, i am new to the pc gaming stuff, lol. I see there is a code for this game, and all of the other expansion packs as well. What if they have already been redeemed? What do i need the code for anyway? If it has been used, how do i get a new code for the game? Will it cost to do so and what website would i have to go thru to get the new code? Thanks for listening to this old beginner pc gamer. Lol. Happy holidays everyone!!!

  • @SkeetD0921 , If you are buying used copies of any game (doesn't matter if is the Sims series or not) most often the codes used to register and run the game have been used by the owner. As for getting new codes to register the game, you can always try contacting EA Customer Service and getting help or answers directly from them. 

    So on to your next question. The original series was named The Sims and here are the Expansion Packs. I only have the US Titles. Not sure what they were titled in other countries. Because of when this and Sims 2 were programed, you need to install them in the order I list them in.

    The Sims (Base Game)

    Living Large

    House Party

    Hot Date

    Vacation

    Unleased

    Superstar

    Makin' Magic

    Here are the EPs and SPs for Sims 2.
