I have the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection but for some reason it is now saying it is not installed. I have played the game multiple times before on this same computer. I am using Windows 10.
@KimS2727 have you done anything different between the last time you played and now? Like added any CC or mods?
When EA Play came out, I uninstalled origin to use EA Play. I am wondering if that is why I lost my Sims 2.
@KimS2727 Normally, uninstalling Origin should not remove the game from your PC. Are you aware of any cleanup programs (such as CCleaner and similar ones) that might be cleaning up your PC’s registry? The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection has registry references that those programs see as invalid, so they remove them, effectively “uninstalling” the game.
Either way, running a repair from EA App should fix this, but remember that you will have to reapply any fixes (such as Graphics Rules Maker) made in the installation folder, if you used them in the past, since a repair restores all the original installation files.
