So last Christmas my family bought me a brand new, completely unopened, The Sims 2 Festive Holiday Stuff Pack from Ebay. The problem is, I have never installed it because it's from UK. All the EPs and Stuff Packs I have bought have been from US (where I live). The disk is for PC, what I have. Since in the UK they speak English mostly, the cover and everything is in English, so I assume all the items will be too. I'm just afraid it will cause my computer to crash. Do you think it is safe to install?

Should be fine - it won't harm your computer in any way, and it will probably work just fine with your existing game.

Yeah, my copy of University is actually the THAI version.

Pretty sure it's completely safe to install expansions/stuff packs from other countries. At least, I've never heard of anyone having problems.

It should. My games are all US and I have Festive Holiday UK version from ebay.

Warning: I installed Apartment Life from a UK version and it messed up all my names! This is an easy fix - you have to change the language in regedit - but was pretty scary till I found that out. And always remember to back up your game!
