The Sims Downloading Problem
I have downloaded The Sims, then i downloaded The Sims On Holiday (expansion pack). When i press play it, a box pops up saying that i need 2 download "the newest version of the sims". What does this mean?

Actually you need to have bought the original "The Sims" game, this being because the game's code looks for a registration to determine whether or not you bought it... Of course you can illegally get the real game, but that is highly unappreciated. Find a "The Sims" game in an exchange shop or on eBay for really cheap, and that should be the start point you're actually looking for.
Sims games do not work without one of the actual game disks. Download all the Sims games except one then buy the actual expansion pack you didn't download. The game should run off that Sims disk you install.
