holsinthehouse01​  Click Windows key-R and enter regedit in the run box.  This will open the registry editor.  Open this location:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node

Look for any entries under EA Games, Electronic Arts, Maxis, Origin Games, or Sims.  But rather than deleting everything, please list all the entries you find, not the actual values but for example "under ...Electronic Arts\Sims 3 I have one folder for the base game and one for each installed pack" is enough.  Some of the values under these folders can be sensitive information, so don't post screenshots of what you see on the right, but the  folders themselves aren't specific enough to be meaningful.

You can also look over everything else under WOW6432Node to see if anything sticks out to you.  I want to know whether there's anything extra as well as anything missing.

    It wouldn't let me screenshot it anwyays, I hope that's the right info. The origin is giving big red flags, especially because it's supposed to be uninstalled, but I'm not going to touch anything until you give me the go ahead
