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.

    Before: The Sims 2™ Ultimate Collection

    After: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

    Enjoy!

    @margeker , it might be in the High End Loft Pack. I know at one point in time it was part of a Collection (like base game, an expansion pack and a stuff pack usually).

    @margeker , Carl's Sims 3 Guides has a good overview of what comes in each pack for Sims 3. Check over there for what comes with each pack.

  • If anyone has the Dragon Valley of Sims 3,  is it like Sunset Valley playable (houses , families etc) or is it just for visiting?

  • I am asking because the overview of EA . uses. the words traveling and visitors
