Evident Bugs After Origin Tie In, FYI thread
This is just a FYI post for those who may have to tie their game (TS2UC) to Origin at some date in the future. When I switched from my five year old failing pc to a new one I missed my TS2UC so much...

Sometimes it is really strange. I've made a discussion in 2017 discussing what was different in UC and in disc version, only to hear that other people don't have the problems while others do.
I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game at one point, only to see those presist (no 5-hour warning at college, no 24-hour clock).
This is the discussion:

Seeing these problems happen to some people and not to other people at all really makes me joke that "Every copy of The Sims 2 UC is personalized". Perhaps it depens on computer specs, as the game will allow less sims to be on a lot and in a group on weaker computers.
It is true about pc specs determining how many Sims can show up at a home and invited to a party and or show up in a community lot. However, I doubt that is as much a problem today as it was when the game was current. Everyone has a better chip or video card and faster processors than they did sixteen years ago. Though I admit it's hard for the game to see those super cards (because that is what they would be compared to old cards) even with Graphics Rule Maker if the card isn't in her list of video cards. It would still fall back on one in her list that may be less than the player actually has. I hope they continue to update the video card list (mine isn't on it's too new or oversight).
But it was common knowledge back in the day the EA Downloader comp packs (store packs) brought more bugs than the disc individual versions. It seems this time because I had to download TS2UC and keep Origin this time because I have to log into Origin now, that I got about half those bugs that were known to be in the comp packs. This is the same save as I had on my other pc with the free TS2UC but no tie in to Origin.
Maybe when they did the update and that is all you can get if you have to reinstall and or put it on a different pc that version is more buggy than the one I got in 2014.
