I had to do a whole new install and now the game wont load past the full screen

I have never posted here before but I really need help so I figured I would go where I knew I could get expert help. I know I'm a noob but please don't hold that against me.
I had to do a whole new install because my 1yr. old nephew was pushing buttons on my computer and inadvertently deleted the Sims M&G file. I have know idea how he did this and I did try to just reinstall the offending EP but that didn't work and so I decided to just uninstall everything and start fresh. Now the game wont load. It gets as far as the load screen where the words are scrolling past and it gets to various stages of completing the load before it crashes back to windows. I get a message that says this application has crashed. I got as far as loading OFB before I noticed the problem. I can't get the game to start and I have tried everything except a system restore. What should I do? I really don't want to do a system restore if I don't have to. Also I have all EPs\SPs. The game was working before I had to do a new install. Should I get no cd cracks for all of the EPs\SPs? and go from there?
J. M. Pescado:
Might not be the only thing he deleted. Also, there is no such thing as "1". This is still 0.
fnlemon:
He probably did delete more than that. I am betting on that. I basically uninstalled everything again and I will start from scratch. I also removed SecuROM with the SecuROM uninstaller about an hour ago. So it seems I am now SecuROM Free. I just don't know what I should do to get the Sims2 back and running because I am afraid to put it back in only to have it crash at the splash screen, over and over. Is there any other files I should look for that could be causing this problem?
J. M. Pescado:
Have you tried reformatting the computer?
fnlemon:
No, I haven't, I was hoping that I wouldn't need to do that but if I have to I will. I really was hoping that there was a nice little fix out there to help me. It is really going to be a pain to reformat the computer. I have all my iTunes and what not on there too. I know I should be able to burn the files to disc as a back up of my music library which I should do anyway. I guess I am in for a long day.
