Issues installing my discs on Windows 7

In theory there shouldn't be any issues with Windows 7, but yet here we are.
Basegame installed fine. I checked the game and it's only forced 800x600 due to not recognizing my graphics card, but I have to wait until I've installed eveyrthing to try and fix this I believe.
I tried installing University, but I keep getting that "Look for updates" stuff and then it can't so it terminates the install.
> Install
> "This product will now ensure your existing installation is up to date
> "The update was unsuccessful"
That's how it plays out.
I thought OK I'll go install Nightlife and then patch and then try University.
Except - Nightlife wont even autorun. It gives me the prompt but nothing happens.
I've got all the expansions and keys, but I can't seem to install. What do I do? I'm pretty sure Origin doesn't care so there's no point asking for a digital download.
Can anyone pinpoint me in a direction? I've googled up and down, left and right but there's few answers. And most issues are related to Win8 and Win10.
I don't want to go down a ship sailing arr matey route to get my games that I literally own but can't use. But what alternative do I have??
I need help.

Probably the easiest walkthrough that I can remember where this came up was on SimsVIP's site and it includes screenshots as part of the process.
