Problems with Launcher (Steam User). Solved

Since Saturday I have been having problems with reinstalling the Store Content. At first I thought it could be the files I had was misplaced. Yesterday I deleted the Store Content in my Downloads Folder and reinstalled, thinking it could be that the files could have became outdated (The oldest files on my laptop dates from August 2017). Today, I reinstalled the remaining items I had left, installed the items I downloaded yesterday and deleted the Custom Content I don't use before playing. Unfortunately, the Store Content still hasn't appeared. So I Saved and Quit before asking my brother for advice. He suggested that I uninstall The Sims 3 from Steam beore reinstalling (I use Steam primarily for The Sims 3, but I use the CD Keys on Origin). But I kept getting an error message every time I started up the Launcher saying "There was an error during Startup. Please refer to the Log". My sister suggested an uninstall, reinstall and a restart, and did that. Here's what I have:
