[PC] Sims 3 won't launch - Help?

Hello, I recently purchased The Sims 3 Seasons, The Sims 3 Master Suite and The Sims 3 Ambitions during The Sims 3 50% sale.

I have The Sims 3, The Sims 3 Late Night and The Sims 3 High-End loft pack on a physical copy and they work fine, but when I installed the digital expansions, the game wouldn't load passed the launcher. I have tried many thing to see if it would work, but none seem to have any effect.

I have tried;

  1. Running them in compatibility mode and/or as admin.
  2. Booting up from inside the bin folder to bypass the launcher.
  3. Uninstalling and Re-Installing them in the order they were released.
  4. Manually patching them as I couldn't get the launcher to connect to origins.
  5. Tried this; http://games4theworld.bestgoo.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly
  6. and this; http://games4theworld.bestgoo.com/t752-the-sims-3-ultimate-fix-should-fix-most-of-your-problems

But none of these seem to help me.

If anyone has any ideas or a solution,  it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. :womanhappy:
