The Sims 2 University Update

[Freestyler007]

I made from my sims 2, 4 cd version 1 dvd.

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?

Sounds clearly like a bug.
Waith for the update by EA Games and/or submit the bug to the theme!

Yes it happens because patch engine in looking 4 label from cd4. I've made 4 images from my cd's using alcohol and put them on DVD. So i don't need to use any crack, mini-image or no-cd.

All sims games when installing new expansion packs have worked this way. It's not a bug or a simple patch to update before or after you install...

They want to make sure you have legal copies of the games(the cds) both the previous version as well as the new expansion.

When cd #4 of university is done installing it asks for cd#1 and then it asks for the cd from the 1st sims 2 game(gets info from it, to verify i'm guessing) then asks for cd #1 from university again so it can finish anfd you can play..

When nightlife comes out this fall it too will do this same process, but it *should* only ask for a cd from the previous expansion to verify and finalize(or it might ask for the original sims 2 cd. i forget its been so long since i installed sims 1 and expansions).

I would like to know this myself. If I can't update the game by using a converted 4CDs to 1 DVD installation, then there is no point on going thru all the trouble converting the installation discs. This is just gay and plain stupid...

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!!!
