Trouble reinstalling (patch)
Nepheris:
The problem with running the game before patching it is Suckurom - I don't want to have to change all the exe's and then patch again. ;)
For future reference: (if anyone ever gets so unlucky to have the same amount of trouble with this as I had)
The problems I had with patching was NOT the result of something that went wrong during the installation of my game.
For some reason, the patches apparently do not always download properly. If a patch gives you trouble, redownload it. You might have to redownload several times (I had to redownload the University one 6 times before it worked), just keep trying until it works.
It really *is* the patch itself, as at one point I tried out the 3 different University patches again that I had downloaded. They consistently gave errors at the exact same place in the installation progress. (One threw an error message at the start, the other at the middle, the third one was fine.)
I've done some googling on the matter and it seems quite a few people had problems with the patches. Huzzah to EAxis for even managing to fuck up that one. ::)

Well, you're right about that with the later EPs. I bought the game and each EP as they came out and there wasn't a problem with that. Sigh. Still, glad you worked it out allright.

According to the Sims2 website, the patch for Nightlife already includes the bugfixes for University. So, if you managed to get Nightlife to work, you don't need to run the University one.
From the Nightlife Patch page...
