Sims 2 Ultimate Collection: Low Disc Space?

So, I recently downloaded Sims 2  to my Origin library (it being free and all) but I'm having issues running it.  It continues to tell me I'm low on disk space (I'm only using 173 GB of 477 GB) and  freezes when I open it.

When I prepare to download/re-install it,  it says 12.57 GB is the disk space required out of the 318.70 GB available. Sounds like there should be more than enough space to run.  Perhaps I'm just being a idiot and not doing something correctly but, any help would be appreciated.   

My computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium, Sevice Pack 1, 64-bit. 

  • Go to "Run" or press Windows + R then type "regedit" and open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then select SOFTWARE

    For 32-Bit: Find "EA GAMES" folder and open "the sims 2" double-click on the Display Name then you will see the pop-up. Delete "™" from Value Data text field and the problem will solved.

    For 64-Bit: Open "Wow6432Node" then Find "EA GAMES" folder and open "the sims 2" double-click the Display Name then you will see the pop-up. Delete "™" from Value Data text field and the problem will solved.

    After: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

    Enjoy!
