Question

Can I install Sims 3 back again after installing Sims 4 on the same computer?

Community Answer

Yes, the two games are separate programs and will not conflict with one another. You shouldn't even need to reinstall Sims 3 unless you deleted it before installing Sims 4.

Probably in a store, Walmart is an option, maybe try Target. Or, if your GameStop sells PC games, go there.

Question

Can I install Sims Medieval for PC if it's in used condition?

Community Answer

Yes you can, providing that the disc isn't scratched up and still works. Look for a good quality disc that's used, but barely used (or in great condition). This will ensure that the game will last. Purchase from a reliable place, such as Amazon.

Question

Do you need internet access to install the game?

Community Answer

If you're installing it from a disc, you don't need internet access, but you might need internet access to patch your game afterwards. If you're installing it via Origin or Steam, you'll need internet access since you're getting digital download versions of the game.
