@xXHOLYSHIZZLEXx The file causing the issue is Version.tag, which I didn't know when I wrote the first comments. So you could delete that and put your original Sims 3 folder back if you wanted. Or you could move your saves and other content from the old Sims 3 folder to the new one.
@puzzlezaddict I removed the version.tag file, and It still won't work. It's making my screen tiny and rainbow wheeling, and not responding. I don't know what else to do.
@puzzlezaddict I tried playing around with the moving files suggestion you made before. The game works only when I DON'T re-download my purchased worlds (Roaring Heights, Lunar Lakes, Dragon Valley, Riverview) from the download manager and completely leave them out of my game. When I do try to download them into the game, the game acts like it's loading, goes black, disappears and makes everything on my screen tiny and rainbow wheels. Is there any way to fix this?
@xXHOLYSHIZZLEXx Is the base game icon along the bottom of the launcher grayed out or colored in? If it's grayed out, please repair the game in Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 3 icon, and select Repair.
Otherwise, do you have iCloud enabled and set to automatically sync the contents of Documents? (I can't remember whether I asked you specifically.) If so, please eitehr disable iCloud entirely or disable the auto sync feature. This article is for a different issue, but the relevant settings are the same:

If that doesn't help, please try playing while your computer is not connected to the internet. You can sign into Origin and put it in offline mode, then disable wifi and/or disconnect the ethernet cable.
And please download and install fresh copies of the worlds directly from the store site, not from in-game; don't use existing downloads either.
Is anyone experiencing problems with the sims 3 pets pack only?
