Sims 2 University Problem

:( When I (my daughter of course) start The Sims University, for a short time the University logo pops up and then the (main game) Sims 2 logo loads and its movie starts.
In the Main menue I only can choose between the 3 (main game) neighbourhoods (Merkwürdighausen etc. in German), the University neighbourhoods are nowhere to be seen.
Seems there's nothing different from the main game.
Is that correct? Or did we fail in any way?
As University overwrites or deletes Sims 2-savegames we have installed maingame and addon on my own PC first to test and have a look at it before she does it on her PC.
University will be launched with the Sims2EP1.exe, Sims 2 with Sims2.exe and both games are NOT installed in the same folder. It was also version-updated while installation.
I personally have no knowledge of/interest in playing Sims-games, but my daughter asks:
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Or isn't it?

make your patcher_iso with these files (maybe some less) from your original install disks
- AutoRun/autorun.cfg
- TSData/1.0.0.932
- TSData/Res/Objects/objects.package
- autorun.inf <<- make sure that entry [Special] Disk=?? matches the disk number object.package was on
- compressed.zip <<- only TSBin/1.0.0.932 && TSBin/Sims2.exe

mount this before patching.

rÿche on

how do you go about making a "dummy exe"?

When i install The Sims 2 University, it install very well (dvd) but @ the end of the install he's going to patch the sims 2.

When it starts patching it asks for cd4, but i dont want that.
So i put my sims 2 dvd into the pc, but it still ask for cd 4 :(

Is their a way to trick the patch or to remove it?

I am having almost the exact same problem..;)
I bought the sims 2, 4 cd's. so there can't be anything wrong with that.
But when i try to instal univerisity or pets with daemon tools,
the installating goes smootly but after that it asks for cd 4 sims 2.
I put it in and it starts to update but than it has an error and quits the
installation. How can i prevent or make this update work? And if this is a bug, how can i fix this? Please help, because i have tried everything and it is so annoying!!!:(
