Title: a few questions if I may.
Post by: collector9 on January 18, 2007, 01:25:58 pm
hi.
 
got Sim2 when it wsa released way back and did play it some then and now installed it again. got a few of the expansions as well.
 
now to the questions I got, some may sound stupid but =)
 
 
do each expansion need their own catalog or can I direct them all to the sims2 folder? I don´t remember what the setup said and I always install my games to other directories then the original c:\ path.
 
 
are there any way to get your Sims2 serial back from the EA Sims2 homepage?
**edited out inappropriate comments for this site**
 
 
what expansions do you feel are the 'need to have' expansions installed?
pets are cute but do the expansion give anything else?
 
thanks in advance

i dont know much about the top questions but as for expansions, pets is fun the first few times you play but when you play as much as i do, it gets a little boring =\. I personally love Nightlife because of the vampires factor. Uni is okay, but it takes FOREVER for a sim to graduate college. OFB, idk yet because I'm buying it along with the new seasons pack at the same time (comes out in February).

You can call EA and I think for  $10 the give you a new CD. I could be wrong. They will want proff you have a reg copy active on thesims2.com I think. I could very well be wrong about it all.

You are right nova they will send you a new CD. I am not sure on the new Code however.  You will have to prove that you have registered a genuine code before on their website. Please contact EA reguarding this!

In regards to your serial codes, there are a few legal ways to get them back. The links below are from MTS2.

Alternatively, if your games were previously installed on the same computer, there's a program on MTS2 that'll pull the serial codes from your system registry:
