Sims 3 won't open

Sims 3 won't open. 

I've tried:
- Installing Direct X9

- Removing the Sims 3 folder in my documents (the folder is being recreated automatically)

- Limiting it to one core (worked once, then nothing)

- Doing the powershell script under the 12th gen error

- Reinstalling 3.5 NET

- Apply lazyduchess's patch 

Limiting it to one core worked once now no matter what I do it says the sims is already running. I've closed everything, restarted my computer, still says its already running. Before my first try limiting it to one CPU it would simply go back to the EA launcher without any error or message, so something changed I guess? I'm the only one logged into the account so its not like its open somewhere else. I'm clueless as to what else I can even try.
