While trying to uninstall The Sims Complete Collection I was getting the error: “An installation support file could not be installed. Catastrophic failure”.
The solution that finally fixed this problem for me, without having to resort to using Revo Uninstaller, was this:
1. Open File Explorer and check the ‘Hidden items’ checkbox (under the View tab).
2. Navigate to C:Program Files (x86)InstallShield Installation Information
3. Look for a folder named {F2527115-B8BF-4FDB-B5DA-5AADFB7C13E1}.
4. If folder isn’t there, search folders for ‘Setup.ini’, check for mention of The Sims.
5. Select the ‘setup.ilg’ file ONLY in the folder and delete it.
6. Double-click the InstallShield’s Setup.exe in the folder, then click Cancel and Yes, this creates a new ‘setup.ilg’ file.
7. You should now be able to delete The Sims Complete Collection from Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features.
This was insanely helpful, thank you so much. I was able to reinstall my game with no issue.
Outdated download, needs a lot of work. Installed it and it froze on map.
Game downloaded is super outdated, installed mine and couldn’t get past the map. Needs work.
Did anyone have trouble loading the Superstar expansion buildings? I get stuck on a loading screen every time when trying to visit buildings here

If I see the message, “Could not find The Sims data directory”, one more time, I am going to blow my brains out. Can someone please help me? Everytime I click on start I just get a quick s[inning wheel and then nothing. I have read over the directions maybe more than 10 times. HELP!!!
i have the same issue, someone plz help
It’s because you are trying to install the crack in the extracted directory rather than where the game was installed to.
I have message like this:Unable to start the game cuz the default graphics card does not support thousands of color modes.Idk what the reason.Also i cant delete the game,i have” A MISTAKE.DESTRUCTIVE FAILURE”Idk what to do
There is no iso file
When I tried to install the initial game, it took me a minute to find it because it was simply labeled as “The Sims.” I’m not sure what they’re labeled as for the EPs but my guess is it would be something similar
start.exe does nothing, you have to go into the setup folder and click setup. good thing for this comment section
“Solved!! go to your download and open Setup in that folder you will find Setup again. dubble click and it may give a message to restart your pc. do that and click again. it wil show you the message to put in the code! hop it will work for you, i am on windows 11. also check out YouTuber Blake Game. this is where i found this solution! grtz from the Netherlands”
Yessssss. I did it. Thankssss

Help! Its seems that i get stuck in the loading screen, even after i modified the compatibility menu it still loops.
Following instructions, running setup.exe prompts an uninstall

Ok this 4STT-BQQG-VBL3-YK44-LGD worked for me
Very strange, this code still works for me. Someone else commented that they used this code: 4STT-BQQG-VBL3-YK44-LGDH can you try that and see if it works?
