Could anyone explain why newer expansion packs needed files from the expansion from a earlier release?
Was it a way of DRM or why hot date or On Holiday need files from the HouseParty CD?
I'm not sure as to the exact reason, but I suspect it's because some expansions use content from an earlier expansion, but only if that expansion is installed.
Hot Date in particular uses a fair amount of House Party content for the Townies and throughout Downtown, but only if House Party is installed. If it's not, you get a more generic experience.
That's right, and if you install Vacation/On Holiday after you install Unleashed the vacation locations will contain stuff for pets, like beds and bowls. (Unleashed was released later, if I recall correctly, so the installation wizard won't actually ask you about this EP while installing Vacation/On Holiday.)
