Is it ok if I post this here?
I repaired my game last night, because I was having issues with one of my Sims (she has the never weary treat but her energy bar kept dropping) so I thought repairing the game would fix it. I left it all night just to realize it failed, so I proceeded to repair the game again (it WON'T let me play if I don't). Thing is I've been at it the whole day, the first nine downloads go as they should (in less than 5 seconds) but from the tenth one it starts to take as long as 30 minutes.
Sometimes, computer will freeze and I have to restart it manually, I've done that 3 times today.
Throughout the day, there was this time all 35 downloads were complete, I clicked on the Play button to get this message:
Unable to start:
Initialization error at startup
[135dec40:90f690cf:00000075:495f32a0]
So I had the great idea to repair the game AGAIN and here I am 12+ hours later waiting for it to finish (16/35). It had already marked an error in one of the packs, can't remember which one but you can see the error number in one of the attachments.
I use a PC, had never used CC nor plan to, I have everything but Star Wars and Nifty Knitting, Windows 10, I've already cleared Origin's cache and restarted my computer. Don't know what else to do, game was going great before "repairing" it.
Hope you can help us

Hello @crinrict
Thanks for your reply I should've replied earlier but couldn't, here's what I did:
Saw your post
Clicked the link
Realized it was not going to be easy, but totally worthy, so...
I started Origin, Origin started to "repair" my game for the fourth time
To reinstall Origin I had to turn it off first ('cause I had done everything else)
It wouldn't close 'cause it was well, busy downloading for the 4th time
So I unqueued all of the packs and expansions and just let it download the main game
It finished in 5 seconds
I ran the game
and guess what?
It ran. It executed perfectly and beautifully as always, well, not always, I had a major issue a while ago but that's another story
So that's that, thanks for your help, the issue I repaired it in the first place got fixed, btw so the only question left is will Origin behave the same the next time I repair my game?
Oh and I deactivated Origin in the game
Thanks so so so much again!
