Hi, I'm having the same issue exactly like the OP. I reinstalled the game after 2 years and I can't open any world. There are some WORLD files missing in the folders too. The thing is that I have the game on Steam instead of the EA app.
I'd like to add that I didn't change anything about my PC since the last time I played the game except for a SSD in which I installed the game in. Do you know if this changes anything?
@madchester1945 Installing Sims 3 on an SSD should be better, not worse, and reinstalling the game shouldn't affect your user data. Try instead installing the worlds into a clean user folder, one at a time. Here's a more detailed explanation:

Hello, I have been trying to reinstall The Sims 3, and I am having the same problem. The strange thing is that the base game alone works fine, even with downloads that I have from the Store. However, as soon as I add any packs, then none of the worlds loads; instead there is a message saying something about a critical or fatal error loading the world, and it recommends I try again. I am trying to install it in my SSD.
