University Life install Step-by-step (just this expansion pack). [SOLVED]

by Guest Sat 04 May 2013, 15:06

First topic message reminder :

Hi

I haven't done much in the way of downloading/installing Sims related content for a while, by recently I have rekindled my love for the game and decided to install University Life to my existing Sims 3 game (with expansion packs/Stuff packs)

My question is:
Ont he homepage of this website, there is a link to a guide that shows you how to install the game and any expansions from scratch. However, I do not want to install from scratch but want to add University Life to what I currently have.

Could I please have a Step-by-step guide or a link to an existing Step-by-step guide of how to install University Life onto my computer without having to uninstall/reinstall anything.

Thanks a million.

Which folders in the Ultimate Fix do I use?

I have a choice of:

#Crack
Ambitions
Base Game
Fast Lane Stuff
High End Loft Stuff
Late Stuff
Outdoor Living Stuff
University Life & 70s & 80s & 90s Stuff & (You get it)
World Adventures

Hello,

Lol, that's literally what I wrote in my previous comment:

Not everything from the Fix though, just do step 2 to 4: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly (So ONLY use the "# Crack" folder from the Fix, as described on that page)

Anyhow...

My steps:

Download torrent
Install game
Copy Crack folder into correct directory
Download Manual Patch
Update game using Manual Patch
Download ultimate fix
Copy #Crack contents into correct directory

Started the game

Just saw loading screen with black background and loasing symbol

Please help

Do you have any Mods or Custom Content at the moment?

Beyond what Admin wrote, I suppose you're computer is capable enough to handle the game ? See also this article here for further information.
And is your graphics driver up-to-date ?

What you could try too: go to Documents/Electronic Arts and find a folder called "The Sims 3". Rename that folder, maybe into something like this: "The Sims 3old".
Try starting the game.

Thanks

I looked at the specifications needed to install the game and my computer is capable

I looked at the solutions but nothing seemed to work.

So I just restarted my computer and just like that, it worked!
Thanks so much guys!
