sims 3 mac launcher opens origin instead of the game, then crashes opened again

Hi,

I used to play on my mac sims 3 but then as the new software updates came over it (obvs) stopped working. I did a deep cleaning of my laptop, reinstalled the system, all fresh and clean, and attempted to get sims 3 to work again.

I installed origin, downloaded sims 3 metal, and launcher would freeze. I repaired the game, restarted origin, moved sims 3, sims 3 packs folder, and the sims 3 folder to the desktop, repaired the game agian through origin,  put origin into offline mode and disabled the origin-in game option, restarted the computer, and now: i click the sims 3 icon that i moved on my desktop, the launcher openes, i click 'play' and the launcher closes down and opens up origin again. If i then click 'play' on sims 3 icon on origin, the apple error message occures saying that the sims 3 has stopped working (see below the beginning of the error message). pls send help.
