FIXED!
I had to uninstall Origin completely and delete the folders. Once I reinstalled the game worked.
Official EA forum appears to actually be down. I am trying to get some response from EA customer support. Have been transferred up at least twice so far. If I get any kind of solution there, I will post again.
Works for me. Is this where you went: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/ ?
I posted my problem http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/776088/135dec40c984c6a38-00000077#latest ? but am so far unable to get any help from there and am also currently waiting to see what customer support can do about the issue with the error.
UPDATE:
I just contacted customer service, just had to restart my computer for one of the troubleshooting steps they went through with me without success and I lost contact with them. I am currently waiting to get back in contact with them, I will post here if I get it to work on what steps I took. So far it doesn't seem to be working out though.
