I'm reinstalling TS2 double deluxe and my expansion packs currently (long story). Double Deluxe installed fine and now, in accordance with the install order, I'm trying to reinstall TS2 University Life Collection. When I run the installer, through both autorun and manually, an error pops up telling me that "All the packs are already installed". When I open the game launcher, however, it shows only TS2, Nightlife and Celebration Stuff to be installed, and none of the University content shows up in-game. I've follow the manual uninstall instructions to the letter and deleted absolutely every file and registry key associate with University Life Collection, but the error is the same. Any help in figuring out a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

System Specs:


Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Intel i3 2.27 GHz processor (4 CPUs)
4 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce 310M graphics card

You've still got old registry entries. If you aren't able to find them yourself, then try a registry cleaner, such as the one suggested in the uninstall FAQ:

I've deleted all of the registry folders associated with University Life and the stuff packs. However... every time I re-open the regedit program, there's one folder for University Life. I delete it, try to install, get the same error message, go back to the regedit and it's there again.

I gave up last night and did a system restore to the point before I uninstalled, re-uninstalled everything and now she's working dandy. Thanks!

Glad that you got it sorted out. That's how I always deal with these issues: restore from a system backup, rather than trying to clean my registry.
