expansions not being recognised?

Hi I'm hoping I've put this in the right place. I haven't found a thread similar so I am hoping someone can help me.
I have previously dl all the sims 3game expansions and stuffs separately from g4tw but had a moment of madness when i wanted to stop playing sims3 and deleted the games and files.

I've now d/ld the complete collection. I have followed the instructions precisely over two days installing uninstalling and reinstalling, applying fresh fixes and/or crack and I am still getting this problem.

World Adventures
High-End Loft Stuff
Fast Lane Stuff
Late Night
Outdoor Living Stuff
Town Life Stuff
Katy Perry Sweet Treats 
Diesel  Stuff
Island Paradise
Into the Future

Are not appearing in launcher or in game. 

I have installed one at a time and also all in the same run and nothing has changed.
I have also Downloaded this 

[size=32]The Sims 3 Patch Downloader[/size]

and it doesn't recognise these games either but is fine with all expansions etc not mentioned above.

If anyone could shed some light would be great.

Hi,
Still having problems.

I've clean installed Base, followed all instructions then installed World Adfventures and Generations and WA is not showing up in launcher or in game.
It does however have a shortcut on the desktop.... thoughts?

Hi everyone still having aforementioned problems...

Hi there, @klf1, and sorry for the late reply.

That problem seems very peculiar. Could you tell us, exactly, the steps that you have followed? Did you do anything different, at any point, like maybe changing install locations, or something of the sort?

Before starting to install the Complete Collection, did you make sure that the game was completely uninstalled?

Hi the game was completely uninstalled, re-installed precisely to instructions.
Tried it again today. 
At the moment I'm testing with Base WA and UL
Base and UL are fine,
when i install WA according to instructions, there appears to be a disconnect. The UL icon loads launcher.
The WA icon says it needs base game to run....
they were all installed into the same folder, I did not do a custom install. It worked great last year but after a break I wanted to start again. hmm not happening.

ok followed all info. and I've decided to look at it this way.

shortcut for base game opens launcher all good but doesn't see WA

shortcut for WA opens launcher but want me to install base game. Its like they dont see each other although installed in typical install. 

is there a file missing somewhere? do i need to clean install and patch one by one up to 1.67?
