University Technical Issue

Can anyone help me?I'm desparate to play Uni!
Okay,when I open Uni,it says:
The Sims 2 is not installed on this system, or some required files have been deleted. This expansion pack requires The Sims 2 in order to run. Please install The Sims 2 before attempting to run this application.
But I
do
have Sims 2!
What can be done to fix this problem?

Uninstall TS2 (after saving your downloads and neighbourhoods folder - my documents/EA games/TS2/downloads and Neighbourhoods).
Defrag your drive C (double-click on 'my computer', right click on C, sharing and security, tools, defragment).
Install TS2, then install the patch that was issued a few month ago (it's called "update", not Patch).
Install EPU.
After you launch the game, you can paste your downloads folder back - but be careful that all the hacks are compatible with Uni, otherwise you will encounter troubles. You can paste back the neighbourhood you played.
...I am sure you used BoolProp a lot...didn't you?
Or, "deleteallcharacters"...?

Well,this is what actually happened:
My uncle bought a copy from China and TS2 and Uni installs together.I have to use a virtual drive.
So,when I download the patch,it says I need the 4th CD,which I don't have.

Unfortunately this is what often happens with cracked software...

Actually Gali, you should NOT install the patch before installing Uni. I didn't install the patch and I had no problems. I've also heard from several people who did use it, that they had to start all over without the patch.

I don't know, but each time I uninstall TS2+Uni, and don't install the patch before installing Uni, the installation of Uni stops at 67% (it has to stop at 68% to change CD), and I get error message, forcing me to cancel the install.
Only when I install the patch, after installing TS2, the installing of Uni goes right.

I think you have a bad Chinese pirate version. Get a better one.

Or, heck, go all out and get your hands on a Ukrainian pirated version. All the interesting cracking sites are in Ukrainian.

Oddysey sig: "For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it."
What, make sure every shooting is a fatal one?

Ain't that the truth! Trouble is even the alphabet is different, I can usually muddle my way through French & German etc sites, but Chinese, Russian and those ones are just too bloody difficult sometimes.

Bush quote. The implications are simply priceless.
The other problem with Ukrainian sites is that if you even go there once, accidentally, they will NEVER STOP SENDING YOU SPAM! In Cyrillic! That you can't read!

Noooo. If they had gotten my e-mail address through my own stupidity, then it wouldn't be evil. EVIL! Evil, I say!
Bad Ukrainian data-harvesting websites! Bad! Although it is rather amusing to get spam that I haven't a clue what it's selling.

It's just a shame that to save a few pennies people will buy pirated software, then wonder why it doesn't work as expected!

Well, probably not much more than if he'd bought it at discount somewhere!
And of course, if people didn't buy pirated stuff in the first place, the pirates would go out of business, the legitimate business would then be turning over higher profits and might be able to drop prices a little as things get older, ie bring out a new EP, drop a little off the cost of Sims2, so people who don't have either find it just a little less expensive to get both. (Though I'd personally recommend that anyone who has never played the game should play Sims2 alone for a while till they understand the dynamics of the game!)

Lollypop... I sometimes mount my uni disk 1 using Deamon Tools, because I keep losing the piggin' disc. I did buy both Sims 2 and Uni though... and I'm getting Nightlife for £14 (yay preorder savings! Now I get to find all the bugs
).
I did find this absolutely fantastic no CD crack, that had all the different loadup options as extra icons (open in window mode, open in 800x600 etc.) but I can't find it now
And my local games store has reduced the Sims 2 to £28, although it was only £32 on release (the cheapest I could find on release date... most were £36-38). Uni is £18.
