service initialization failed (0x0175d824)

Today I wanted to play TS3 again after a very long break (except for a few hours of simming in november). I always avoid the launcher and start the game via a shortcut to the exe-file. But I wanted a new world so I downloaded Legacy Island and tried to install it through the launcher (version 1.67) and got this servicestart message. I didn't start the game before the world download so I don't know if it would have started or not without touhing the launcher.

I've done a few things people suggested on EA answer HQ like renaming my sims 3 folder and trying to start the game. No luck. I even updated origin - don't ask me why, lol, I don't own any digital EA game. But there are 33 unsolved cases with this exact problem and EA support doesn't seem to do anything about it. So if anyone has a proper solution it's much appreciated.
