Sims 2 Stuff Packs uninstallation.
I'm uninstalling Sims 2 now and I successfully uninstalled the EPs. Now, I'm trying to uninstall the stuff packs but it only says if I want to run the app then after that nothing pops up and it doesn't uninstall. So, how do I uninstall the stuff packs? thank you
Edit: Some of the stuff packs cannot be uninstalled these are: IKEA Home, Kitchen and Bath, Teen Style, Mansion and Garden, Double Deluxe. These are all stuff packs except double deluxe.
Edit2: It seems that the "UNINSTALL" application of them is unblocked. I clicked, Properties then at the below of Read only and Hidden there's this word saying unblock.
Please don't delete this. it could help some people.

These instructions were copied from official EA site:
To remove all of the game folders:
A Confirm Folder Delete window will appear; choose Yes.
When the folder is finished deleting, close the window.
Right-click on your Recycle Bin and choose Empty Recycle Bin.
Now you can remove the registry keys for the game.
Remember that editing your computers registry incorrectly can severely damage your operating system. We recommend having a computer professional perform these steps. If you are confident, however, that you can edit your registry successfully, then please carefully follow the instructions below.
The next steps will all be performed in the left pane of the Registry Editor window.
Click on the + next to Electronic Arts.
Click on the + next to EA GAMES.
Right-click and delete the Sims 2 expansions you wish to uninstall (delete all of the folders for a full uninstall) (If there is no folder present skip this step.)

Re: Sims 2 Stuff Packs uninstallation.
@Keyenpeydee, if you have the program "Your Uninstaller Pro" (also available from G4TW), then you could start it up and see if the missing Sims 2 games show up on the main window. If yes, click on a game, choose "Super Mode" and follow through. When done, do this with all the other Sims 2 games too, that show up in the program.
That said, you will generally want to avoid uninstalling anything in Windows OS, unless you are absolutely sure you want to get rid of it AND you also know how to properly uninstall.
