Basically, I never use forums and I am pretty useless at solving technical issues, but I am having issues trying to uninstall a game - Sims3 and all of its expansions.

The message that comes up when attempting to uninstall is that I do not have permission and need to contact administrative account user - but the account I am using is the only one that exists, and of course has admin rights.

Frustrated. Any suggestions?

Try this ..... Assuming that they provided one, find the uninstall program in the latest expansion pack folder, right click on it and select "run as administrator"

Rinse and repeat for 2nd latest expansion pack and so on

If all else fails, just delete folders and use ccleaner to wipe registry of all thing sims related

Hi thanks for the response, it's saying that you need to install the base game when trying to run as administrator, which when doing so you can uninstall that version but it doesn't seem to wipe the other, if that makes sense.
