    Here is what work for my sims3 game. 

    : Uninstalled The EA App. an removed them  from documents folder and download manager as well. No Origin files either.

    Next external hard drive(many sims & builds can't be too safe) back up sim3 folders, saves, sims saves, collection files, library, downloads, mods, installed worlds, world caches.  Move copies on the desktop to 2 folder spilt up as back up. Will change out later with the new ones.

     :Next type add or remove look for the sims 3 right click uninstall.  (The EA app has the info) Once finished empty trash. restart pc. The Create a pattern an or World do not touch or delete as for now. Will check later. If it's an issue sims 3 store page should have updated too.

    :Go to the EA app web page download or https://www.ea.com/ea-app

    Eset would not download the link on the forum page.

    : Once install go to setting before doing anything click application place on off( All)  Update: settings  mark  application update on Next  notifications off * in-game overlay on* accessibility  off. 

    Next look up game sims3 enter should bring you download screen/manage add on. Would not download the expansion and or stuff so just x out. Open app again should have the sims 3 tile click manage add on. Download packs. Once completed click play!

     : Launcher is ready. Do not sign in on the launcher.(it was having issues) Instead go:  https://store.thesims3.com   This issue fixed itself for this pc. Browers gc with the duck. Is what works for this pc. Yours may be different.

    Sign in go to history download installer from the launcher.

    Launcher/installer stalled out a couple of times. Still downloading from sims3 store.

    For now will not be adding backups yet. Wait an see. Let me know how it goes for you!

I am now having this issue right after downloading the trashy EA App. Origin never gave me trouble but now I can't play, literally because of the EA launcher. Same error message you have. It's unacceptable.

Just guessing here out of the millions of sim3 gamer... just 3 of us have this issue. Back in sept origin was not repairing the sims 3 games. For me I've had issues with gold roaring heights and hidden springs over the last year both bought through sims 3 store.(not origin)  Tech suggest repair game before entering game and said this is an older game. It has been working. Just like to have your gaming pc system working and the client working right too. While the EA app was install gaming offline sims 4 (echo was my stopping point update.. didn't even have the game an the fixes did not work for the game..  lol.) (Will Never updated it again) For me sims 3 is just like my pups warm exhausting an happy an always hungry. Or whatever sims encounter. You have a great simmer call sign... Best to you!  Will be awesome when its fixed!!! Hope
