Sims 3: University Life NO DISC POP UP. Publisher cannot be verified.

Hello, I've searched the forums up and down and I haven't found anything relating to this so I apologize if someone has already posted this. Anyways. I have never had an issue with any of the expansion packs downloaded from G4TW until now when I downloaded and installed University life. I followed the installation guide to a T. Moved the crack files to their proper place, and even installed the ultimate fix as well. I followed those instructions as well, first put the files from the "any expansion pack after generations" folder, checked for updates, and then moved the crack files over. Now when I try to play, it says that the publisher cannot be verified. If I ignore that pop up and continue with opening the game, I then get the "Unofficial game modification does not match your current version of the sims 3. As I previously stated I've never had an issue out of any game downloaded from this site before so I don't know what could be wrong. My Sims 3 base game is not from this site as I purchased that one, but it has never effected my expansion packs from here before. I even had Island Paradise at one point and it worked fabulously from here but I uninstalled it a while back due to boredom of it. If anyone knows what my issue could be, please help:/

You should never apply any cracks from the expansion pack/stuff pack torrents. Did you replace any outdated cracks with the Ultimate Fix crack?

Try the following:
1. Read this carefully once more: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly
2. Re-download both the manual patch and the Ultimate Fix.
3. Run the manual patch even though you are told to have the latest software update.
4. Apply only the content of the folder #crack from the Ultimate Fix this time.

Please keep us posted.

Well I sadly followed the instructions in the expansion pack .rar instead of reading the "how to install sims 3" guide. I replaced the crack that was there with the one from the EP, I then replaced that crack with the "any expansion pack after generations" crack from the ultimate fix, checked for updates, then replaced those files with the ones from the actual Crack folder from the ultimate fix. I'm downloading the manual patch and ultimate fix and will try what you suggested. I will post an update once everything is finished as it is taking an extremely long time for me to download the manual patch.

I did everything that you said and I'm still getting the same errors. I have uninstalled University Life and Re-did the manual patch and everything worked fine again. I re-installed UL, re-did the manual patch once more, and moved the cracks from the Ultimate fix to the Sims 3 Bin, and now I'm getting the errors again. I think it has something to do with the ultimate fix crack replacements because I then tried to just re-do the manual patch and I stopped getting the errors that I was getting before, but now I'm getting the no disc found pop up.
