Sims 1 + 2 EA app or Steam

I’ve downloaded the bundle on the EA app and have not been able to play any of them. 
Sims 1 doesn’t even open anything when I click on it, meanwhile when I try open Sims 2 I keep getting the message “Some needed files were corrupted during the installation. Please reinstall this application.”, which I’ve done, and it’s the same message again.

Now I’m wondering if the games work on Steam, or they’re facing the same problems over there with not getting their game to load either?
