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

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'm in the Netherlands and do get them. Maybe it has to do with you 12-hour clock? Or you language settings? Maybe it was not installed propably, I had some troubles too with UC.
  • I'm from France and i do get the five hour warnings, it's weird that some of you don't get them.
  • I don’t get them on my pc. I had to uninstall and re install and deffo do not get them. Would have to check and see if they appear on my game on my Husband’s pc.
  • I'm also a UK Simmer and I get the warnings with the UC. That's a strange thing to have missing, even for The Sims!

    I'm constantly in Ultra speed and get the warnings. I don't have a mod to shorten the number of college days.

    I do have a mod that will force finals to not be at night, which can happen, especially if you don't fully empty out a dorm before moving the next batch in.

    I know what you mean about the ultra speed. Would have to rule it out. No Mods or cc so obviously not that.
  • 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.
