@MiSFiT203 I did something like that too. I uninstalled Origin thinking that I could still play S3 because it showed the icons on my computer, but I couldn't. I was very upset with S4 because of the "gamebreaking bugs" is why I uninstalled Origin, so I can see how stressful it is when you can't play the game you want to play!
After that stressful situation with S4, I just went and removed S3 and S4 from my computer and then uninstalled Origin. I had to wait and de-stress myself for about 4 days till I tried it again. I installed Origin and and when reinstalling S3 I just installed a few of them at first, and played the game for a bit. I then would go back and reinstall some more packs (I only installed the ones that interest me, guess because I have played it so long that I realize I don't need all of them). I just add them as I go, if I decide I need them.
Its not stupid issues and you were not wasting anyones time. This is an awesome group of simmers here, although I dislike asking for help and letting people see how little I know about computers, but they are always there for me!
I have an illness too, stress is something I cannot take a chance on. I take it a day at a time...and slow :D I am always installing, uninstalling, you name it, I start over quite a bit....but thats me, I mess with my games but not the computer tech stuff :D and I have fun doing it! LOL.
S4 was my limit though, so I have a few packs installed so I could finish making my 40 years of being with hubby sims for the gallery. Now I just use the gallery to support the ones I follower. I realized without the base game, I can't access the gallery. I don't play S4 though, I walked away from the game, not the gallery :D
I hope you can one day get your sims3 working again, if not, I sure hope you can enjoy your sims4!
*many hugs for you*
