Why dont ya patch before manually???

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...

If you have a no-cd crack:
replace the crack for the original exe

[JediKnight]

no, I don't have a no-cd crack. I followed the tutorials on this forum to convert the install discs to DVD. The game installation works (both sims2 and university), but the game update does not (keeps asking for Sims2 CD4).

I am even trying to put both games in the same DVD if possible.

Simply insert your original CD4 for the update then.

@Jedi Knight
Read "Beetlejuice's" post #5 in this thread, I think it explains the problem correctly! Basically you need to use the original discs to finish installing the updates!

That's what I wanted to re ad, thank you. I won't burn the DVD then.
