expansion install order

Does anyone know if you have to install the expansions in the order that
they came out (eg. The Sims game and expansions) or can you install Road to
Rome after Secret Weapons?
Any input at all would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that you do have to install them in order. Otherwise the
patches included on the cd's wont install correctly. Just my 2
cents...

Shouldn't make a difference. Each expansion tries to patch the game, but if it
detects a newer patch it doesn't do anything.

No, it doesn't matter. Just tried myself, first SW, then RtR. No problem. The
game was already patched to 1.6, but I don't think that matters either. Like I
said in another post, if it detects a newer patch, nothing happens with the
patches included in the expansions.

My 2 cents ;-)

Thanks alot everyone for the replies. I'm going to install RtR later and see
what happens.
Again, thanks alot for the replies.
