Sims 3: There was an error during startup, please see log for more details

[Tuscanae]

Recently I activated my Sims 3, Sims 3 late night stuff and Sims 3 high end loft stuff with the keys from the Humble bundle. However, when I got onto the game it would ask for a disc and refuse to update. Obviously I dont have a disk as it is purely a activation code. When looking at a forum it was recommended to download the latest patch manually, but since doing that It now comes up with "There was an error during startup, please see log for more details" everytime I attempt to launch the game, it doesnt even get on the launch menu. Also, the shortcuts that I have for the games used to launch the menu, but now they just take me to my origin library.

Can anyone help? Its really frustrating!

I have tried near to all of these, and none of them are working. I have already unistalled and reinstalled The Sims 3 but that has not worked, and  have ran out of options

Did you clean out the registery manually and with ccleaner ?
