Tricky Install

If you've installed the additional items and characters available from the official website you may have problems installing the University Expansion Pak. When you get to the install part that says "This product will now ensure that your existing installation is up to date" it will come up with an error and say "update process did not complete successfully. Installation will now terminate." Then it uninstalls University Expansion Pack. I fixed this by uninstalling the entire original Sims 2 game and all my saved characters and reinstalling Sims 2, the 16meg patch, then University Expansion. Will think twice before downloading charters, items, or buying another expansion pack for SIMS 2. EA Tech support had no clue and asked for the specs on my computer, which is running XP with 2GB AMD Athlon, 1GB of RAM, ATI 9000 Atlantis 128MB video Card (with newest driver), and over 120GB of free drive space. Plays well after all these steps.
