So basically the game will "force" me to update before i can install a game expansion?
Btw thanks for helping me with all my questions Pam
Yes, if you have a PC running Windows. When you put the expansion disk into your computer, you'll get a message saying that your game needs to be updated and a button that will start it automatically. When it's finished, you'll get another message that it's ready to continue the installation. It will do this with each expansion or stuff pack disk that you insert.
It's also a good idea to do a clean uninstall/reinstall of your game when you add an expansion or stuff pack. You can back up your game files to put back into the game after you're done, so you don't lose your families (unless you happen to have a corrupted file). We have topics on the Technical Help board that will explain how to back up your files and how to get a nice clean uninstall/reinstall.
And... you're welcome.
