Error with game launcher

can't open The Sims 3 because I keep getting an error with the launcher and every time it says I need Origin to play it while I just have the EA app...

  • Megank2k​  There has to be a game version in the lower-left corner of the Sims 3 launcher, even if it's reading as 0.0.0.  If you see zeroes, do a clean uninstall as above.  If you see something else, let me know.

    mine is installed via the EA app and in the launcher I see nothing at all because everything is at 0

  • shyguy16​ Megank2k​  Did you originally install the game through Origin, or the EA App, or discs?  Is this a new install, or was the game working before now?  And what game version do you see in the lower-left corner of the launcher?
