I really hope you found something out and were/are able to update this thread because I am having the same issues. TS3 was working fine on Saturday and sunday. On Monday I decided I wanted ambitions and some stuff. I put the money into it, and then it forced 1.69 through origin. I would try to load the game from the launcher and the bin and straight from origin, but only to get a message saying something along the lines of needing to install origin to play the game..blah blah...comtact EA support. After a full reinstallation of just the base game(I had just reinstalled origin before i was forced to update)and cache clean and clean boots and .NET framework and a bunch of stuff that makes NO sense to me for 3 days now, I was able to run the base game only with an ancient patch. I am still trying to figure out if I can get it working somehow, but will have to contact EA probably, and after reading all these threads I feel like that will be just me wasting more time on an endeavour that was a complete waste of money. I have like 6 EP/SPs that I have NEVER been able to play. It is super frustrating and I really don't like TS4. Whatever happened to having discs available for purchase that you can just pop in and get going? That was something I understood..but this!? Pure insanity that needs to be addressed ASAP or I will be demanding a full refund I think..
