Sims 3 Launcher will not open
I have done everything I can think of besides reinstalling every single sims game because that is a pain in the rear and shouldn't be necessary. I'm running windows 8. 1) I reinstalled Origin 2) I'...

@Razviolet you can try a Clean Boot In this case...make sure you have installed Origin and game
-you need to press the key combination: “Windows Key + R”;
In the “Run” window, type the message “msconfig” without quotes;
-you need to left click on the “OK” button;
Select “General” tab, from the toolbar and chose the feature called “ Selective startup”;
-uncheck the box found in the left of the message: “ Load startup items”;
Select “Service” tab, from the toolbar;
-check the box in the left of message: “Hide all Microsoft services”;
Left click on the “Disable all” button, found on the lower-right side of the window;
Left click on the “OK” button;
-a new message box will prompt on your display. Left click on the “Restart” button in order to restart your operating system.
NOTE save any open files and close all programs before restarting your computer.
After restart .right click the game tile in Origin client and select 'Repair Game' and Check for Update

I did all of the above but when I right click the game tile after the restart, there is no Repair Game or a Check for Updates option. There is:
Play
View Game Details
Add to favorites
Customize box art...
Game properties...
Hide
Uninstall
I went into View Game Details and there is no Repair or Update option there either.
@Razviolet and make sure your internet connection is not running through a proxy.Go to Internet Options in Control Panel > check the connections tab and make sure the proxy server is not checked. Check the internet settings again .
go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games
-rename(change) Sims 3 to Sims 3=( or whatever you want,does not matter)

-and now game will be playableGo in Game Options and unchecked the "online" box. Hit apply changes. Then rechecked the box and hit apply again.

Hang on. I found something strange. I apparently have 2 origin accounts. An older one has all of my sims games (including base) registered except for 2 expansions. When I logged in it shows the base game tile and I am able to click Repair. I'm trying that now.
Edit: It's inching in percentage very slowly. This may take a while.
