Features of expansions not available

Deleie,
this EA support page
Gives a detailed explanation of how to use disc images.
NOTE that they describe naming the disc image folders Disk1 Disk2 etc.
that's disk with K ::)
The technique seems to have advantages for expansion packs because of some sort of problem with the way the expansion pack's updater works ... it tries to update (ie patch) the base game. As you are trying to install everything at once it is possible that you have a base game that is already patched up to a level beyond the patch included with the University discs ... this would tend to confuse the updater.exe ... possibly.
I wish I'd thought of this. Hope it works. Good luck.

I was going to manually uninstall the game again, to try it with the instructions from your site. When i was browsing i found that the installed language from the sims 2 was English US, and the languages from the expansions are English UK. Could that be the problem? I'm going to try to change the language from each till they all have the same with the instruction of this site: http://tg.sims2techguide.net/guide.php?g=13.
Edit: Didn't work, i also installed the game with copying the file in the folders. Didn't work to, maybe i'm going to do a format on my computer and see if it works after that.
Ancient Sim:
I don't think the language thing will make any difference. My base game and expansions are UK English, but my Christmas pack is US. The only difference in the UK version is the clock anyway (well officially it is, in my game I've altered all the spellings as well, because I am a pain in the arse when it comes to my YOOS). If they don't sort out the spellings in TS3 I am going to personally kidnap Will Wright and make him spend the rest of his life doing UK spelling tests. Oh yes I am. Seriously, I mean it, I am.
cwykes:
Can I suggest you mail the EA tech help? You might get a useful answer and it's definitely a problem they ought to know about if they don't already.
