Sims 2 Legacy corrupted files issue

Hi all, 

I found a work around that might help!! I uninstalled the Sims 2 legacy edition under the "Administrator" account under my laptop. If you want to uninstall I went onto "control panel- uninstall programmes" as on the EA app it wouldn't let me uninstall. I then reinstalled the game under the administrator account and once installed immediately went onto "repair" and then I got a pop up saying do I want to launch and I hit yes, it took me straight into the game without the "corrupt files, please reinstall" message. My advice is to make sure you are the "Administrator" on your laptop/PC or log into the main account that has the "Administrator" permissions. I saw on another thread about this and others tried it and it worked for them, so I thought would give it a go and it worked for me as well. I have no idea why, but it worked.
