@MaxisJoe So I DO get into the launcher, but when I press play in the launcher, it takes me back to Origin.
I ran that command and got this...

This same problem is happening to me. I wanted to update and redownload origin because my sims 3 was no longer letting me download custom content. so I updated everything, and my launcher comes up, but then I get this message.
