Did you try to apply the manual patch linked here:

I too am having exactly the same problems and have done everything suggested and nothing has worked, any ideas what to do next?
Anyone any ideas on how you contact EA Games direct, as just posting in forums is doing no good whatsoever. The way things stand they have sold us products that do not work and if they are not going to resolve the issue, I would like my money back, I have Sims 3 + 3 E.P's that involves quite a bit of money and I am unable to use them?

I have the same issue, but mine also states "starup error, please see log...." I uninstalled everything and re-installed the base game, but still no changes. Please help someone, I want to play the game I paid for.

I have Uninstalled, SIms 3, SIms 3 Supernatural(My only X-Pac), Origin, and found every spot where any data was left and deleted it. I have patched with the launcher, or manually. The Simes 3 works unpatched but will not install the X-pac or any of my download "Stuff."
Any Ideas?

I'm using a PC
I have tried all the steps - all 3 ways of trying to solve this.
It happened when I patched with the 1.5 patch.
I have uninstalled, cleared everything Sims related off my computer, and downloaded and reinstalled 5 times now.
I only have the base game installed right now (no use uninstalling and reinstalling all of the EPs), an it is still not working.
It works fine with out the update patch. But I can't install the other EPs without an updated patch.
What do I do??
