    UPDATE
     
    I was able to get Sims 3 working! On Canada Day (July 1st), I was able to retrieve the missing files from the computer I last played the game on and move them to this computer via usb flash drive. It now runs perfectly! I don't know what's wrong with Origin on this computer. It's up to date, but necessary files were missing every single time I would attempt to re-install. It wasn't an issue with the computer itself as I can now play the game just fine on it. It might remain a mystery as to why Origin didn't install some things, but I'm just happy to have my game back! <3

I did indeed follow all your instructions to a T. I don't use patches or mods, and I don't have any active antivirus or firewalls on this computer, third party or otherwise. I tried repairing the game in Origin as well, both as an admin and not.

I don't know where else to go from here except to support directly. Maybe they can fiddle around in my Origin account or something. Otherwise, yeah, I guess I just can't play anymore, which royally sucks.

Again, thank you so much for trying so hard to help!! I wish you the best of luck with future endeavors, and I hope you and yours are doing well enough in these trying times! If not, then I hope things get better! ^_^
