Sims 3 Launcher Won't Open

★ Novice
I just bought the Sims 3 Ambitions and the Sims 3 Generations from Origin but have been playing Sims 3 (base game) and the University Life pack on Steam. Since I bought my new packs on Origin, it is required I play it on Origin. So I had to reinstall Sims (basically start over). Now my Sims 3 launcher won't open but in order to install all my expansion packs, it says I have to update my Sims (base game) but I can't do that without opening the launcher. How do I get the launcher to work?

Also, the product keys are invalid on the sims3 website and I can't get my bonus content. Please help!! I didn't spend an additional 30$ for the expansion packs and restart my entire sims for nothing! Only my base game works now (without launcher)

Try reinstalling following the instructions here: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_Uninstall

 

You can also try the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/

 

As for invalid serial codes

 

You need to talk to a game advisor about that
