Game guide:Which disc is used to start?

The Sims
The general rule is to use the first CD for the most recently released expansion pack. The expansion packs, in order of release, are:


 * Livin' Large
 * House Party
 * Hot Date
 * Vacation
 * Unleashed
 * Superstar
 * Makin' Magic

The Sims Deluxe Edition was released after Vacation and before Unleashed. While it is a compilation of the base game and Livin' Large, it also has some attributes of an expansion pack. If Deluxe is installed, and Unleashed, Superstar, or Makin' Magic are not installed, use the Deluxe CD to start the game.
