Arina: How do I do that? ???
Ok, first off: I am no expert and if you destroy your PC by following my advice it's on your head and not mine. :P
To edit the registry you need to go Start - Run - type 'regedit'. Look through the trees and find the (quite high up) folder which is called SOFTWARE and has entries for all your programs (as opposed to the one with hardly anything in). Now find EA Games in that section. Under that you ought to have entries for all your EPs. Click on them, and in the right some info should come up. Basically, look at what it says for the "Install Dir" line and check that that game is actually where it thinks it is for each EP. If it's wrong, well, I recommend, if possible, you change the physical folder to be in the place the registry is and just edit nothing there. (If you just LOOK, you can't harm anything XD) But if you're more brave (I was... if you're careful and make notes on what you've changed you will be completely fine, so don't be too worried, but if you're unsure at all err on the side of caution), you can edit that line to reflect where the folder is. But seriously, you can completely break Windows with this tool if you don't know what you're doing. Don't mess with ANYTHING that doesn't say The Sims 2, and mess with that as little as possible if you're worried.
I'm not even sure if this is the problem, but I guess if it "can't find" something you're sure is there, this is probably where to investigate :) Good luck!

Arina: I'm using the one with the broken uni. Anyway, Registry Editor is open, and uni isn't there. :-\
Arina:
Completely not there? I don't know what happened, then :( Sorry. You're sure you installed it? :S
Arcadia:
Arina: Yes I did. I installed it one night, and installed Nightlife, Pets, and Seasons the next. And with Pets, I installed Uni and NL first, then Pets and Seasons, after that I installed FT, and finally OFB (I hate BV).
