A little background... I got Sims 2 Double Delux, installed it, works fine. Then I got Apartment Life, installed it, works fine. Then I got Fashion Stuff, installed it, works fine. So Then I went to get Sims 2 University, installed it, splash screen comes up like it is about to start, then goes away and game won't start. Any ideas on how to fix? All games are up to date....

I did pay for all just FYI...
