You install Sims 2 on Vista just as you would on former Windows OSs. You need to have the original Sims2 base game or you can use one of the combo packs as long as the riginal, Sims 2 bade game is included. Just insert the 1st disk into your disc drive and it sould auto-install. From there, the installer will (should) prompt you to insert the proceeding disks.

If it doesn't autoinstall, go to Start>(My) Computer and then double click on the drive that contains the disc. This should start the process.

Yes, The Sims 2 University expansion pack is compatible with Windows Vista. You need The Sims 2 original stand-alone game before the expansion pack will work. If you have problems running it on Windows Vista, try right-clicking on the shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator..." and then choosing "Allow" when the dialog box pops up.
