Try manually uninstalling the game as described here: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-the-sims-3
- Click the Start button and select My Computer.
- Select the Local Disk (C🙂 drive folder.
- Select the Program Files folder.
I've done all of that but then after that I can't find and do the rest of it:

- Select the InstallShield Installation Information folder.
- Delete the following folder if it appears:
