FAQs
Do I need the base game to play The Sims on Holiday?

How do I send my Sims on vacation?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this expansion, you must have the original *The Sims* installed on your PC. Run the installer from the disc and follow the prompts to integrate the new files into your existing game directory. Given that this is a 2002 release, you may need to utilize compatibility modes (such as Windows XP or 98 mode) when launching the game on modern systems to ensure stability. It is recommended to perform a backup of your neighborhood files located in the *UserData* folder before installing any expansions to prevent data loss.
