Is this the one you need to buy to install in computer before you can play any other Sims3 games?

Yes it is! This is the original Sims 3 game with no expansions. You then buy expansions for this game.

This model does allow games, but those like sims 3, minecraft, etc. will not play and there is no way to upgrade the hardware unless you buy a new motherboard

I bought this to use with Sims 3 because my computer was overheating otherwise. It does a decent job, but I still had to lower the graphics to give my laptop a break. I don't use it for much else, and my friend bought a similar (older version) one for his gaming as well.

Mari, I don't know. I run the game on Windows 7. I did have to bypass the Launcher to play the game.A Google search does reveal issues with running Sim2 on Windows 8 (and possibly 8.1) that date back to 2013.I did ultimately find a link to the "Mod The Sims" website (http://modthesims.info/t/500523) where they describe a process of doing a clean reinstall of the game and setting each installed expansion pack to run in Compatbility Mode for Windows XP, Service Pack 2 (not Service Pack 3), see the link for details if interested.Launcher bypass method here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-2/Sims-2-Double-Deluxe-Launcher-Crash/td-p/2005641Regards,Paul Mari, I don't know.

Yes. Just browse under "The Sims Complete Collection Download" and select from the available sites. I personally haven't downloaded any games, so I can't give you any further details. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I bought this game for my son and he couldn't play it because it is not compatible with our new computer, it's an older game. Please make sure your computer program is compatible before you buy the game.

You need to install it but no I do not use the cd. I play it without being on the internet. It puts a i con up and you go to it and it comes up for you to play.

I have a windows 8 it works jus fine you can check this site to see if The Sims 3 runs on your computer. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ when you reach the site just type The Sims 3 and it will tell you if it can work. Because it really depends on the graphics and other hardware. Good luck

Hello Gloria, I hope you are enjoying The Sims 3 University Life Expansion Pack, as much as I did. - To answer your question, yes, ALL updates are necessary when purchasing a brand new expansion pack. When the game was created, it was created to cater to the game version at THAT point in time. Since The Sims 3 is a game powered by Origin, it gives opportunity to make your game as up to date and fluid as possible; and considering how long ago it was created vs. when you purchased it, there have been many updates for The Sims 3 sense. Thus, your computer needs an opportunity to catch itself up with the newest version of the game so that you have the best utmost experience. I hope that this helps and wish for you to keep this thought in mind when purchasing any additional The Sims 3 Expansion Packs, as you will run into the same situation. Not all updates show immediate, apparent results. Some updates are simply code related and with make your gameplay more fluid / less glitchy. Again, I hope that this has helped. Happy Simming! :-)

No, thankfully this game was made by people who understand how to distribute games.It comes as a CD but it will install #3 and you will have to choose to play in the #1 or #2 story lines.

Yes that is the case. Island Paradise is an expansion pack and expands on the Sims 3 Base game. You'll need to have the Sims 3 before you can run and play Island Paradise.

That is just the addd-on. You needed to get the original game that included the expansions. Now you have to buy disc with original game.
