Is this the original base game for the sims 3? I can't download it I need to buy a dvd. Thanks!

not sure because it has the "Showtime" extension included. At least the one I purchased even though it advertised as Sims 3 so....

Quite possibly the buyer wants to know if it says "Go Social" on the top of the box. If it does, it requires Origin and you cannot use Create-A-World's "In-Game" edit with it. Many Sims 3 creators are seeking the original DVD box before the "Go Social" version was released.

The sims 3 is all you need once you received that's when you will download.

This is a code for EA Origins to download the games. Origin only shows it for Windows PC. Sorry

No... You dont need the base game.. You may use the Intrigue as an expansion though

Well in my previous posts you can read the proper steps for installing. Ok the game that you had was Sims 3? By itself? if so there are going to be different software #'s associated with each game regardless of whether this is the same game. Are you talking about the Starter pack all together?

I have played Sims 3 with no lag. I am pretty certain Sims requires more.. so you should not have a problem.

Got to start with the original. This is not a stand-alone game. It is just an expansion.

I don't think EA is interested in helping anyone who uses a Mac. I had a Mac and could not play with Pets because of the horse issue, which to my knowledge still isn't fixed. They make the greatest games on earth, but they're glitchy, buggy, and don't work right half the time. I will not be buying Sims 4 either.

if you buy solely an expansion,then it is just that... an expansion. without the base game, you will not be able to play

You don't have to play on line. You need to create an account but you can play against the computer. The game plays just like the original. I have been having a lot of fun playing it. If you liked the original you will like this.

Yes. Sims 3 has toddlers, it's fun to teach them skills. Sims 3 is also easier to figure out. There's a lot of expansion packs with Sims 3. Right now Sims 4 only has 1

You do have to have Sims3 installed first. However, at this point with Sims4 already introduced, Sims 3 should be very cheap or free.

To be honest I've never had this problem but my best advice would be to either contact EA or I know on YouTube they have serial codes for the base game and expansions so you could also try that but there's no guarantee that could work, worse case scenario is you return the game and purchase a new copy. Hope I cou help. ~Hannah

All of the games listed are the complete version with no additional cost. You just choose from the list which ones you want to put on to your computer. They have their first versions of the game (not as good) up to the latest (very good). I have had more fun with that one purchase. It's a GREAT deal!

This isn't sims 2 this is the first sims game that includes all the expansion packs for it. No it does not include a apartment life pack.

Yes. The Base game needed to play the expansion is with it. Its a complete pack.

You need to go into the origin account you created to play the game and make sure you install all updates before attempting to play or game will have issues. You can access all your sim stuff on origin you may have to enter license code but once it's there you can access it from anywhere.

You would have to pirate the game or use a peripheral CD drive. Check the running specifications of The Sims game you're trying to play - the laptop may not be powerful enough
