Deleting the 5 cache files in the Sims 3 folder won't have given you a problem. If you are playing on a Mac computer don't ever delete the world cache files.
DCBackup files can be deleted i often clear them as they take up a lot of space. The ccmerged file is your premium content. Your premium content stops working if this file becomes corrupt or is deleted. It is a good idea to have a good working backup of ccmerged as it can become corrupt.
I don't have Origin on my computer. But from what I know about it you should be able to put it into offline mode. I know a lot of people have problems with the launcher but I've not heard of the problem you are having. I never check if things are showing up in my launcher. I rarely open my launcher. I only use it if I want to install something so it can be months before I launch it.
I do remember having big problems getting things to show up in my game for a while. My problem was caused by having too many files in my Downloads folder. I own almost everything from the store. If I put it all into my downloads folder it will install everything but only some of it will be in my game. The way I fixed it was to add two extra folders inside my downloads folder. I named them 'To Install' and 'Installed'. I move all of my Sims3Pack files from tge Downliads folder to the 'To Install' folder. This leaves the downloads folder empty except for those rwo folders and the few extra files that live there. I then move a few of the Sims3Pack files from the To Install folder. Then install them. Once they are installed I move them to the Installed folder. I work my way through them until I've installed everything.
I hope you find your solution. Good luck
