I broke ME3

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I bought the game on Origin in 2017 and never had any problems with it. Yesterday i had the stupid idea to install some mods to add something new to the game and i completely broke the game...Everytime i try to play, the game asks for the product key (i used it in 2017 so it's obviously not working anymore) and i have no way to fix it.. i tried to reinstall the game, i deleted the cache folder, removed all the mods i installed and even used the repair option on the EA app.What do i do i'm running out of options :(

Please clear your temp files:

Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time to open the Run dialog box.
Into the new window, type or copy &amp; paste: &nbsp;"%temp%"&nbsp; (Without the quotes.) &gt; hit "ENTER"
Now your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users\&gt;your user name&lt;\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. &gt; Delete all files and folders in it. &nbsp;(If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.)

Then:

Go here and download "Revo Uninstaller. (The freeware version, Portable version works too.)
Run "Revo Uninstaller" &gt; Uninstall ME3.
At the end of the main uninstall, Revo will ask you which cleaning method you want to use. &gt; Select "Advance" &gt; Browse.
If "Remaining registration content found" is displayed &gt; Select All &gt; Delete &gt; Next
When "Remaining Data and Folders" is displayed &gt; Select All &gt; Delete.
Restart the PC
Rename the "Documents/Bioware/Mass effect 3" folder into "Old_Mass Effect 3"
Restart the PC.
Install Mass Effect.&nbsp;
Test.&nbsp;
