@nycbigl I didn't mean to actually uninstall the game; among the options is a simple "revert" that doesn't require truly uninstalling anything. And by the way, the point of moving your game folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts is that if you do ever need to uninstall, you can just put the folder back after a reinstall. All your saves, installed worlds, custom content, etc. would be right back where they were before you uninstalled. But like I said, a real uninstall isn't necessary here.
I hope support can sort this out for you. It's not unusual at all for someone who's had Access on their account to have a game blocked. And having two-factor authentication is pretty common these days.
Happy New Year to you too.
EA Facebook Help is working with me right now. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it will all be OK. 🙂
It they still have issues on their end then I will seriously take your advice to mind. Glad to hear that I wouldn't have to reinstall everything all over again. That would save me from pulling my hair out of my head. LOL! 😉

YES! EA Help on Facebook helped me to fix it. My game is up and running again! WOOHOO!
After he checked out my account and worked on it on his end for quite a while, he then told me to not only clean out the caches and restart the PC like I usually do but this time to go to...
"Origin game repair and see if that helps. You can do this by going to your game library, right-clicking on The Sims 3 and selecting the repair option."
And that did it! It's finally up and running. YEAH! 🙌
I had no idea that repair option even existed. You learn something new everyday. LOL! 😉
Thank you EA Help on Facebook!!! You Rock!
