I think university is the first or second expansion pack. I know there are issues if the expansions are not installed in order of their release. if you have say, seasons or freetime and then install university, it may not run correctly. You have to uninstall the packs or the game and re-install them in correct order. Yes, it's a big pain but I had to do it twice.
Install the SIMS2, or double deluxe whatever you have then follow this order with exception of say nightlife if you have have double deluxe because it comes with the original game.

The Sims 2" Expansion Pack Order

  • "The Sims 2 University"
  • "The Sims 2 Nightlife" included in double deluxe
  • "The Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The Sims 2 Open for Business"
  • "The Sims 2 Family Fun" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The Sims 2 Glamour Life" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The Sims 2 Pets"
  • "The Sims 2 Happy Holiday" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The Sims 2 Seasons"
  • "The Sims 2 Celebration" (A Stuff Pack) also in double deluxe
  • "The Sims 2 H&M" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The Sims 2 Bon Voyage"
  • "The Sims 2 Teen Style" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The Sims 2 Free Time"
  • "The Sims 2 Kitchen and Bath Interior Design" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The SIms 2 Ikea Home" (A Stuff Pack)
  • "The Sims 2 Apartment Life"
  • "The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden" (A Stuff Pack)

I bought a new PC game "Mystery 5 Collection" and

The problem is most likely that you do not have a DVD reader installed in your PC. If you look on the front of you cd-rom it will say DVD if it can read DVD's. Most stores will not give you a refund for software that has already been opened. It is fairly easy and inexpensive to install a DVD reader in your PC, probably in the range of $30.00 to $60.00 depending on the brand you purchase. I would go ahead and purchase and install the DVD reader since more and more games and other software is now being put on DVD's.

Sims Double Deluxe loads, but gets stuck on the first loading screen where various tasks scroll at the bottom. I've unloaded and reloaded, pressed F1, I'm at a loss, helppp!

ive had similar problems with that same game. i dont know if this will help or not. but, i noticed that the game seems to get slower at loading depending on the computer OS (operating system) you are using. The newer the OS the slower the load ( does not make scene). As long as their are items still scrolling by the bottom of the screen then the game is still loading, it could just take longer...specially if you have played before and have big save files. I recommend buying the Sims 2, its more advanced then the original Sims and is basically the same game.

THE DVD-ROM WONT READ A GAME INSTALLATION DISC BUT IT LOADS JUST FINE ON MY FRIENDS NOTEBOOK MY DVD-ROM WILL READ OTHER DVDS AND CDS BUT NOT THIS ONE

Two possible problems:
1. The DVD is of a type your DVD ROM cannot read - make sure you have the latest driver for your device or try a different DVD tray in your PC.
2. The DVD is scratched / Dirty - not enough to affect your friend's PC but yours might be a bit more "fussy" - get your friend to copy the DVD for you and try the copy in your PC. Make sure you don't infringe any copyright on the DVD before considering this second option.

Sim's Life Stories won't work in my DVD drive...

Check for a 2nd game cd in the case sometimes they have it hidden on the opposite side of the current cd. Iv got a few games that have up to 6 cds for installation because of the intense graphics. Sim Life Stories might be the same assuming.... because it is quite new... hope this helps if not then try updating your cd rom driver that might help as well

Installing the sims 2 double deluxe

Does your laptop have a DVD drive? It is likely that the Sims Double Deluxe disk you have is a DVD ROM and not a CD ROM.
If this is not the case, try clicking My Computer and selecting the CD drive to see if the computer recognises the disk at all. Run setup.exe if it does.

I think my cd for my sims deluxe edition is too scratch but i dont want to buy a new game plus it would be hard if not impossible to get this game again so i want to manually install it on my computer i...

if it is installed you just go to www.megagames.com, pc fixes on the sidebar and choose your game and download ano-cd crack =)
if you need to install it try find a torrent to download at www.thrpiratebay.org or www.mininova.org and since you have the key it wont be a problem installing it.
you can also try to set down your reading speed in the dvd-rw/rom so it dont "notice" the scratches =)
