1 month ago Thanks for the report. Can confirm the Ultimate Edition isn't recognised by the patcher at the moment since its file structure is different to the retail discs.
For example, it's expecting this:
'The Sims 2' 'The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff'
'The Sims 2 Apartment Life' 'The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden Stuff'
'The Sims 2 Bon Voyage' 'The Sims 2 Nightlife'
'The Sims 2 Celebration! Stuff' 'The Sims 2 Open For Business'
'The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff' 'The Sims 2 Pets'
'The Sims 2 FreeTime' 'The Sims 2 Seasons'
'The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff' 'The Sims 2 Teen Style Stuff'
'The Sims 2 H&M® Fashion Stuff' 'The Sims 2 University'
'The Sims 2 IKEA® Home Stuff'With each folder more or less:
CSBin eauninstall.ico Sims2EP9.ico Support TSData
eauninstall.exe filelist.txt Sims2EP9_Uninst.exe TSBinIt appears the Ultimate Edition lays out its files like this:
'Best of Business' 'Double Deluxe' 'Glamour Life Stuff' 'University Life'
'Bon Voyage' 'Fun with Pets' Seasonsand then TSData can be found inside each of the subfolders:
EP3 SP5 SP7 VP6I made a modified build that will see the Ultimate Collection. I'll need some time to fix it in the patcher properly. Till then, try this one:

Describe the problem
The patcher does not recognize my installation folder. I tried selecting it manually, that did not work either. It gives the error,
"Wrong folder selected No installation of The Sims 2 (or its expansion packs) was found in this folder."
In the patcher status bar it says, "Missing EA Games Folder"
I tried to reinstall the game in the registry as "Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\", but that did not work either. I also tried running as Administrator, and taking ownership of the folder and giving full control permissions.
I am using The Sims 2 Starter Pack.
