@AjopostyBut does the base game work when you don't install any mods? I think you're suffering from a current known issue in which the Ultimate Collection won't start on some computer setups. See here for a workaround: https://answers.ea.com/t5/C-C-The-Ultimate-Collection/Can-t-launch-C-amp-C-The-Ultimate-Collection-games-after-24-01/m-p/8716040#M17504 Does that fix your problem?

@Ajoposty Then please uninstall the game through Origin and then look if there are still files left in the installation directory of the game. Also delete those files. Then the game should work again. If it works again (please let us know) then you could try to install the mod again by following these steps precisely: http://mentalomega.com/index.php?page=install Does it then all work for you?
