Since I have installed University, i've noticed a couple of minor problems.
First, the memory icon pictures are no longer there, just squares. When you
move over them, you can find out what they are, but no iconic pictures.
Also the icon picture for the school bus has disappeared most, but not all
of the time, Again, get the square and the action, just not picture.
Third, the info file on the student jobs doesn't appear. The student I have
tried it on, has th job, goes to it, and is promoted, just no icon. Also
put her in private school, she got in, attends, but doesn't change into the
cutsy little uniform. Is this a bug, or do I have a small system problem of
some sort?

That's apparently a semi-common bug. A fair number of people have it
on the official board. The solution seems to be to reinstall
university.

Thanks for the info (although, I didn't want to hear that) Now for the
idiot question: How do you go about reinstalling university without messing
up the rest of your game?

As one who has just suffered getting the university to work, save
EVERYTHING!
Your neighbourhood. Your downloads. Anything you have in the config/cheat
file. Any maps you brought in from SC4. Anything you have in build-a-Sim
(Grrrr!)

Have I forgotten anything? Music? Photos?

Then reinstall. The Univ install over-wote all my above files. I had
forgotten to save my built Sims, this time. 8(((
Also, If I did it again I would go into my saved neighbourhood file and
delete any mention of university saves.
This because all latest young Sims work okay but not the poor Sim I saved.
He still has faults.
He, Tank, is due to drop out. He just will not register. He is not daft.

Granny.
