== Fame ==
First off, I didn't include the charisma challenge because I did not know about it. That being said, it currently states that completing the opportunity will provide Celebrity status... I assume this status is different from the Fame that I am referring to in Superstar i.e. Super-stardom. Please elaborate if you know.

Also the hairstyles and outfits from Nightlife and Bon Voyage won't show up on screen. Instead one of the hairstyles and outfits from the base game will appear. So in other words, installing more recent expansion packs and then installing some earlier ones may cause the items of the earlier ones that were recently installed to not function properly.

:I've done reinstallation for a number of times, and it always started with base game, then ''Apartment Life'', and then ''University'' through ''FreeTime''. No such glitches ever happened to me. Does this really happen in your game right now, suspecting it as a result of installing in an incorrect order?

I've installed several expansion packs on a computer (not the one I usually use) starting with ''Seasons'', then ''University'', ''Free Time'', ''Bon Voyage'' and ''Pets''. After I'd loaded the game for the first time since installing the expansion packs, I installed ''Nightlife''. All the content from the other expansion packs work fine but ''Nightlife'' fails to show it's hairstyles, items and clothing correctly on screen.

:Perhaps there's just a problem with installation? Maybe uninstalling and reinstalling ''Nightlife'' can fix it? I swear I've never had such bug before. K6ka usually knows this technical stuff better.

== question. ==
 
I plan on purchasing the sims 3 soon for my b-day, they have the base game on Amazon. I don't trust the download versions from other game sites (including the pirate bay--many people recommended to NOT to use that site.....) it lead to many '''viruses from others that posted it on youtube''', and I heard it is more "complicated" or harder to install... so... this is my '''first time''' ''Italic text''buying the disc for pc...I use Microsoft windows 7 '''I really don't know what to do'''... can anyone help me and show me what to do when using the base game? is it simple or hard? And also, what do I do with the expansion packs? do I just insert the disc and get the things I need to put it in the game then eject it? I don't know.. (I had the Ps2 version of the sims 2 and it isn't great so im trying pc out...for the first time...)--[[User:Gianna156|gianna156 :D ]] ([[User talk:Gianna156|talk]]) 05:05, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
:You insert the TS3 disc into the disk drive. Afterwards there is an installation process that the game will take through itself. You will have to click a few options when needed, but the installation is very easy. I also do not recommend ejecting the disc when the game is installing.

okay and when the process is completed I can then eject the disc? does that go for the expansion packs too?what do I do with the ex. packs ?--[[User:Gianna156|gianna156 :D ]] ([[User talk:Gianna156|talk]]) 08:10, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
:You will need the disc to play the game. When you purchase expansion packs, you use the '''LATEST''' expansion pack to play the game. The expansion packs are installed in virtually the same way the base game is. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 08:27, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
 
I see, I just use the recent disc I wanted to install into the game and that's all? -sorry for asking a lot of questions, I just need to make sure I do this right.)--[[User:Gianna156|gianna156 :D ]] ([[User talk:Gianna156|talk]]) 08:41, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
:That is correct. When you buy multiple expansion packs, use the most recently released pack's disc to play the game. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 09:32, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
 
:Okay, thank you so much for helping me :) [[User:Gianna156|gianna156 :D ]] ([[User talk:Gianna156|talk]]) 10:07, June 21, 2014 (UTC)
 
==FP==
In ''The Sims 4'', there are EPs, SPs, GPs, and FPs. The [https://www.origin.com/en-sg/store/buy/55482/pc-download/addon/holiday-celebration-pack Holiday Celebration Pack] back in December [http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=4628986#post4628986 is said to be an FP]. Once we can figure out what that is technically and officially, I guess we can put that information on the article.
