Title: Uninstalling/Reinstalling
Post by: spambi on 2008 August 29, 19:06:23
I believe the time has come. It's a beautiful summer day so naturally I want to spend it removing and reinstalling the Sims. There used to be a post on the EA support site about manually uninstalling the Sims, but I can't find it now.

1) Backup everything in my Sims 2 directory
2) Remove games in reverse chronological order via add/remove programs
3) erase all sims 2 related stuff in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/EA Games

then
4) Reinstall all in order, patching as I go
5) Replace final EP (AL) exe with a no-CD version (I'm currently securom free)
6) See if the damn thing will start

Did I miss anything?
