Thank you for the answer. I tried it. Nightlife still works as a separate game and there is no option to add a University subhood. When I tried to run it from University it doesn't work at all (neighborhood loading continues forever). The Sims 2 + The Sims 2 University had worked correctly together before I installed Nightlife. At the end of installing both of these adds I get this massage: "The update process did not complete successfully. Installation will now terminate." I fixed it by task manager -> end task. Probably it is the issue...
@nastenyaus Base game, University and Nightlife patches almost always crash on Windows 10 and corrupt the game files. If you ever had a patch that closed without any message or with an error, that was it. It might be the root of your issue (especially with infinite loading). There are 3rd party ways to bypass errors and patch the game successfully with its original patches.
@Tremayne4260, do you think it will ever be possible to add a common mods/fixes list to The Sims 2 section like the ones for The Sims 3 and The Sims 4?

@mate54 I’ve asked and have not gotten a reply.
- mate545 years agoHero (Retired)@Tremayne4260 Hopefully we get that one day. Some things are just necessary for the game to run well on new systems, and it would definitely help the players. Especially with issues like crashing patches, etc.

@mate54 , it would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath due to the age of the game.

I did not install any patches...
- mate545 years agoHero (Retired)@nastenyaus There are patches available for base game, every EP and Family Fun SP, and installing them is highly recommended. Some, but not all of them are included on CDs. Unfortunately, patches for base game, University and Nightlife crash on Windows 10 and corrupt game files. There are some methods to get past those errors, though.

@nastenyaus , you really should patch your game. (Aside from the Windows 10 conflicts), the patches fix many issues that the game had at launch.
