SimPe fix for the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

Fixes an issue doing with SimPe which prevented it from detecting if any of the expansion or stuff packs were installed, When the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection is installed. To tell if You have the issue fire up SimPe and then go to Extras, After which click on Preferences. Once the Preferences window opens up, Click the File table tab. If all the Expansion and stuff packs are greyed out then that means You have this issue.

To Clear up the issue download the file below and install it at \SimPe's install folder\Data, Once there find the file expansions.xreg and either rename it to something else or delete it, You may want to back up the original file before You place my edited one.

Also one other thing if You're still having problems check that SimPe has the right install paths for the expansion and stuff packs. To check that fire up SimPe and then go to Extras, After which click on Preferences. Once the Preferences window opens up, Click the System Folder tab. The Install paths for each game should be this:
