A pesky problem about TS2-UC missing files (Solution found, look inside)

Hello!

I apologize if I am seem to be one of these pesky peeps who doesn't read the forums, but trust me, I have read, but could not find person who has the same problem like I do (or maybe not enough digging).

I am having a really serious problem about The Sims 2-UC, which it is the error "The Sims 2 base game is not installed" I keep getting after a while of not opening the game, which before, it opened just fine and no problems at all (even loading ALL of the data from ALL expansion packs & Stuff packs).

I did what I was instructed to do, is to manually unistall the The Sims 2 UK 4-disks+ expansion & stuff packs, deleted every trace that might be found by it, but the problem keeps persisting. But I have also noticed something while using the CCleaner, and I am not sure if it is related, but will post it here (trusted link, Google URL shortener+Photobucket): A picture of Registry issue?  EDIT: The registry of these are gone.

I hope you guys can help me on resolving problem! And thank you!

Update 2: Here's the picture of the error: The error

Edit 2: Solved thread, click on "Go To Solution". Thank you, Taratownie!

    Yes, I have used the new registry on my c: to no avail. Uninstalled it, uninstalled origin, added registry, reinstalled origin, reinstalled sims still not there. A issue I see, don't really know if this matters. The program files x86 folder, I do not have this. When installed, what does install runs into the program files folder. Do I need to run the sims2ep9,exe first before dealing with the registries?

    I don't quite understand you, but what am I seeing are:

    1. You don't have Program Files (86x) folder- resolve: Check your Program Files (not the 86x), and see if Origin & Origin Games folders are there. If there are, proceed to 2nd one. When re-installing Origin, check where it goes and create the folder. If it says 86x, your folder might be hidden, check the site to read on how to reveal the hidden folders. Windows Site

    2. Inserting registry before installing origin & TS2-UC: On that, install Origin & TS2-UC first, and then try to run TS2-UC. Getting that error before running it? Use the Mibunix's registry, however, check where is the game (base+expansions+stuff) installed, and you will have to change the location written below of each base, expansion packs and stuff packs in the registry, by right click it, edit it with notepad/open it with notepad.

    For example:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Sims2.exe]
    @="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Origin Games\\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\\Double Deluxe\\Base\\TSBin\\Sims2.exe"
    "Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Origin Games\\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\\Double Deluxe\\Base"
    "Game Registry"="Software\\EA GAMES\\The Sims 2"
    "Installed"=dword:00000001
    "Restart"=dword:00000000

    To:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Sims2.exe] 
    @="C:\\Program Files\\Origin Games\\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\\Double Deluxe\\Base\\TSBin\\Sims2.exe" 
    "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Origin Games\\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\\Double Deluxe\\Base" 
    "Game Registry"="Software\\EA GAMES\\The Sims 2" 
    "Installed"=dword:00000001

    Do you need to put this registry into any of the sims folder to get this moving? I keep opening the registry from desktop.  Nohing from the sims shows up in Ccleaner.  This is ridiculous.

    From that point and on, sir, I am unsure what is your computer's problem about the registry. It should not have deleted immediantly (bad english). Either, you have a registry tuner checked on automatic, or something else.

    Try to open that registry file in regedit.exe

    (pardon my absence, I was hanging out wayyyy too much for the last few days)
