On the unhappy side today, tried installing the University EP. All went well until it got to the updating phase with the base game disk.

While it launched OK as yesterday, it crashed when trying to load a household, giving the appalling grammar error message. Anyone know how to fix those two issues?
You need to have the basegame patched before you can download expansions, and then be sure to patch each one of those. The reason it goes wonky trying to update is because it is trying to connect to a server that no longer exists. You can download and install each patch manually. You can find them all here.
