So I'm having the same problem as TheSilentLady. I didn't seem to have any trouble installing this on Windows 10 last year, but my laptop screen broke and I bought a new PC and am trying to install again. I got the base game installed, but once I try to install University I can't complete the installation. Once it finishes, I get the notification that it needs to update and to insert Disc 4 of The Sims 2 base game. Once I insert it, it tries to update, gets to about 94% and says the update fails, and then it proceeds to uninstall the entire expansion pack. The love sims and pleasure sim often want to have as many love relationships/dates as possible. Sometimes they also want to adopt/befriend a lot of pets. Family sims and friendship sims are exciting but with one you can end up with a really big family. I tried following the instructions from the link and use Grumpy Loader, the problem is I can't (obviously) apply the patch until the installation is complete, but it won't finish the installation without trying to update it, which fails and uninstalls Uni. Knowledge sims and money sims are the easiest to play, but also kinda boring after a while. Any advice? I've tried it a couple times now and can't seem to figure it out. Update: I got it to successfully install. I followed the tutorial here.īasically I had to download the update files from the link provided and place them in the program files folder and replace all the files with the updated ones.
