i know this may be a completely obvious question for most of you, but are you able to put more than one expansion on a single disc? if so does it appear as two different desktop icons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blucatt10 (talkcontribs) 14:44, January 17, 2011

EA decides when and if they want to do that, and it's been done before. What you're talking about is a compilation pack, where the base game is combined with one or more expansions, or when multiple expansions are released together. You can see a list of compilations here.
If you're talking about putting games onto a disc yourself (burning it onto a CD/DVD, for instance), I do not know. I also am not sure the legality of that sort of activity. Aside from that, if you install multiple expansions for one game, the icon of the newest expansion is usually the one you'll use. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog 00:25, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
I think it is possible, I've got The Sims 8 in 1 and it is just 3 CDs, so it should be around 3 or 4 expansions in a single disc. Someone created an awesome torrent somewhere, The Sims 2 and all expansions in a single iso file, which you have to manually install. It is amazing! I'll give a link if you want to. |_Andronikos Leventis 13:40, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
Blucatt10, if you're talking about making a backup for personal use, I'm not sure how well it would work, or about the legality of doing it. Giving it to another person, or taking it from another person's computer, would be a different matter altogether. I am sure that what Andronikos is talking about is illegal. Using something like "8 in 1", or getting a game from a torrent, is something you do At Your Own Risk. Dharden (talk) 16:07, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
