Makin' Magic Users - Please
read!
If you haven't bought any expansion packs, you can disregard this notice...
Close this windowPlease read the following list if you have installed anything from our Programs & Patches page in the past. You may need to remove certain files before you install a new expansion pack. If you don't, it might write improperly to the existing files and may affect gameplay. If you are unsure if you downloaded any patches (from here, or other sites), we compiled a list for you of the files hosted by this site, prior to the recent Makin' Magic expansion pack -- NOTE: the original game files will be embedded in the .far files, and must be left alone. Do not delete original game files! However any user-made patches you downloaded will be loose .iff files in these same folders below (if you installed them according to our instructions) and those should be removed prior to installing any new official patch or expansion pack to your game:
| In
the The Sims/Downloads/McFoodCart folder: "McDFood.iff" file (McDonald's Kiosk Fix/Upgrade) |

Please note that the patch makers may have told some people to install certain files to The Sims/Downloads folder instead, so if you were instructed to do this, you should check there too. If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to contact us, or the patch maker (by clicking on their name on the webpage).
This list doesn't include the new Makin' Magic patches which were just recently added.
