@Henisim15 You can still use Origin, that is if there's a way to get it to connect properly. This post contains a download link:

After you repaired through the EA App, are you still getting the message that you need Origin in order to run Sims 3? If you're seeing a different error, please post a screenshot. And how did you originally install the game: Origin, disc, or something else?

@Henisim15 Helo, I have same problem, but, even though I re-downloaded Origin it still doesn't work. Would you have any other advice, please?

@mracnovka Were you able to connect Origin to the internet? Because before I deleted and reinstalled it, it would always say, that 'online login is unavailable', and it wouldn't work. Than, it magically fixed with the reinstall, so I have no idea what the original problem was. Sorry I couldn't help more.
