When possible, I recommend installing the expansion packs in order. The expansion packs build upon the previous one released and include patches for previous expansions. In theory, installing the expansions in the order they were released should save you a lot of problems in the long run. I hope this tutorial is useful.

The Sims 2″ Expansion Pack Order

• “The Sims 2 University”
• “The Sims 2 Nightlife”
• “The Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack” (A Stuff Pack)
• “The Sims 2 Open for Business”

• “The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden” (A Stuff Pack)
• Also if you have The Sims 2 Deluxe, Nightlife is included on the discs, once that is installed then you can start by installing expansions after installing “The Sims 2 University”.
