Since getting The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, I began seeing some differences between non-UC and UC game.For example, when I didn't have the Ultimate Collection, I got a warning when there were 5 hours left before the final exams in college. When playing the Ultimate Collection, I never get these 5-hour warnings anymore.Also, before the Ultimate Collection, I was able to set the 24-hour clock (sims age on 18:00) instead of 12-hour (sims age on 6:00 pm). After getting the Ultimate Collection, I always have the 12-hour clock no matter if it is turned on or off.What differences have you noticed?

I get the exam warnings too playing UC

I've got the clock and the 5 hour warning. Did you update your Graphic Rules.sgr files?

I get the warning, too. But things I know they won't wish for are things like a flower bed, a shrub, etc. it's very rare having all EPs and SPs installed and maybe due to TS2UC. Not sure. But they seem to not roll as many wants (don't change as often) as they did with separate EPs installed instead of the UC.

I live in one of the Baltic countries near Russia and I don't get these warnings and clocks.

Im in the UK and I do get the 5 hour warnings, weird that some of you dont :o

Is it me or are some features really different in UC?

Just wondering is anyone playing in ultra speed and sometimes ultra speed in all these games can cause a glitch, I don't play in ultra speed so in a total vanilla game, maybe that is the problem (Custom content?) or the mod that shortens the days of college life?

USA, get the 5 hour warning, never paid attention to the clock. There is a difference between UC and disk installed version. I've tried to add house lots made on a disks version to UC, and they are rejected for incompatibility. It's been a while so forget what the message was.

There is no difference between disk and UC unless you've recently installed via UC as UC has no Securom anymore. Disk versions do.

If there was such a difference that you describe, people wouldn't be able to play saves that were started on the disk versions on the UC. And trust me they can because I do. Multiple different saves are viable that I started when I played via disk that I know play via the UC.

What you've got is usual EA wonkiness with the game's own installer most likely. Get the Sims 2 Clean Installer off of MTS and that should get your lot to install properly as it bypasses the launcher. On the plus side, Sims 2 Clean Installer will help ensure you don't accidentally download something you don't want.
