The Sims 2 Expansion packs, installation, Would this work?

if i got every single Sims 2 expansion pack, would i be able to have all the features on the sims 2


like say i got sims pets, sims apartment life, and university. would i need to click on pets specifically to have pets? and university to be able to go to college? or could i just install the games, then click on the regular sims 2 and be able to play with all expansion featuresThe Sims 2 Expansion packs, installation, Would this work?
No, that's not true. They DO all work together -- but you have to actually start the game by clicking on the LATEST released game you have installed. If you install all the games, you CANNOT play your game by putting the disk that has the base game into your computer and then clicking on the icon for that game. It simply will not work because EA has set it up so it requires the latest released game in order to play. They did that to try to prevent people from loaning the newer expansion packs to their friends.





Anyway, once you install all of them, they are all combined so you only need to play one and everything is available. Out of the games you listed:





Pets, Apartment Life and University





after you installed them you would need to put the disk for Apartment Life into your game and click on the icon for that game to actually play.The Sims 2 Expansion packs, installation, Would this work?
If you click on the base game (the regular sims 2) all the content from the E's should be accessible.
