I had Sims 1 installed on Windows 8.1. It was acting really strange so I went to take it off. It said it uninstalled but the Title is still there. It won't go away. Even though the game files are gone, the registry keys are gone...there's no sign of it except in the uninstall or repair section of my computer. When I try to uninstall it I get an error...Unknown error encountered...aborting set-up. If I try to install it again, I get the same error. I can't play it because there's nothing there to play.Can somebody please give me some advice on how to get it off so I can re-download it the right way? Thanks so much in advance!!!!

The title is still- where? Is it the start up icon on your desktop or what?
In the Program Files (x86), there was a Maxis file that would still be there after uninstalling. I always had to delete that file to reinstall.
You're right about that folder (I've never understood why it would always be there after uninstalling the game); people need to check if The Sims has been completely removed from their computers to ensure they'll do a clean installation next time. I think the program File Cop helped with that, but I'm not sure.
Then, I tried to install it and got an unknown error, that it couldn't be installed, then I deleted the sims and sims creator from the maxis folder in program files (x86) now it won't let me INSTALL it, what's going on?
