Sims 3 will not start after pressing the play button

I've had my Sims 3 for quite a while now. Before I used to play it all the time, but recently I wasn't able to start it. It's an electronic copy using origin as its launcher. When I click "play" the launcher pops up, but when I click the play button within the launcher, nothing happens. I decided to go into the Sims 3 folder and launcher the TS3W.exe and TS3.exe, but that didn't work either. I checked my task manager and went into processes to check if Sims 3 was running. As I pressed play in the launcher, the task manager showed a TS3.exe running, but a few seconds later, it would dissapear. I've re-installed the game multiple times, checked if my anti-virus software was blocking anything, and also checked if firewall was the problem, but nothing was wrong. I have no clue as to why my Sims 3 isn't running..

I have no custom content installed, so that's not the problem. And I also cleared the cache.

Im using Windows 7 32 bit

GPU is supported 

Specs clear Sims 3 with flying colors.

Please help.
