I wanted to start my sims 2 game over without my saved games. I have the university expansion pack. So I decided to uninstall both and re-install. The uninstall went fine but I kept getting an error when trying to install the sims 2. it said "an error occurred when trying to transfer the file TSData/Res/Sims3D/Sims08.package. So I checked and there was still a folder in my programs for the sims so I deleted. But I was still getting the same problem. So I system restored back a few days and tried to play the university game and all that kept coming up was a box with a red circle with an X in the middle. I also tried to uninstall and re-install JUST the EP but the red circle kept coming back. Any help on either fixing the university so I can play or on installing the first sims without the error?

I haven't had this problem with Sims 2, but I remember in the original sims, if you saved after installing a new expansion pack, and then uninstalled that expansion, the game would no longer work. Try installing all the expansions you had on your computer before.

University is the only EP I have. You could be right though. I think I need to uninstall and reinstall both the EP and the original game. I think the problem I'm having may have to do with the disk itself.

I'm having the same problem, What a waste of my money, It seems like a lot of people are having the same problem... :| Sims 2 is crap! :(
