I was able to fix it by force uninstalling it through the cmd prompt and then reinstalling from the website. Previously, repair and reinstall options had not worked.
I turned on my PC, tried to launch The Sims, and was told I can't because "Origin was not installed." However, I have the EA App installed, and when I tried to launch it, I was told my PC couldn't find the shortcut or launcher. When I tried to uninstall EA App, it could not uninstall, as the computer could not find the uninstaller. When I tried to reinstall, it said EA App was already installed. I do not want to lose progress on my saves, nor do I want to spend hours reinstalling my games. When I turned my PC off last night EA App was still installed and I was able to play the Sims. I do not know what has changed since then.
