new EA app uninstalled Origin
Last night I played and saved The Sims 3 with NO problem. I have Ambitions ,Late Night , Showtime , and Seasons extension packs also. After I closed Origin, prompted me to download the new EA app...

@indycutie Please delete everything in Downloads with Origin in its name. Then use this guide to uninstalling "the hard way" to remove any leftover Origin-related files:

Restart your computer, and don't open the EA App. (Make sure it's not running in the Task Manager as well.) Download a fresh copy of Origin and run the installer as an admin: right-click on the download and select "Run as administrator." Restart again when it's installed, and again make sure the EA App isn't running. Then try to launch Sims 3 from your Origin game library.
If Origin doesn't think Sims 3 is installed, right-click on the game icon in your library and select Locate Game, then choose the location where the game is installed. It might help to run a repair afterwards (in the same right-click menu). Then launch the game from your Origin library and let me know what happens.
@puzzlezaddict This morning I did everything you said & it went well. I then re downloaded Origin. It went into downloads, but won't install or run...so right now, no Origin shows up on my computer.
