Expansion pack
From Simpedia
Expansion packs are additional installations which can be added to The Sims Series games to increase their functionality. They add new features and objects to the game, which are intended to enhance the game experience. Few game manufacturers provide expansion packs, preferring to release new versions of the game, so The Sims series is relatively unique in this respect. Expansion packs mean the game can be developed after its release, and many of the expansion packs also fix bugs in the game. The latest expansion pack is FreeTime. It is the 7th and final expansion pack for The Sims 2.
Every Expansion Pack for The Sims 2 requires The Sims 2, The Sims 2 Special DVD Edition, The Sims 2 Holiday Edition, or The Sims 2 Deluxe to play.
Every Expansion Pack for The Sims requires The Sims, The Sims Deluxe Edition, The Sims Double Deluxe, The Sims Mega Deluxe, The Sims Triple Deluxe, The Sims Full House, or The Sims Complete Collection to play.
