Ugh It happened to mine and I couldn't even launch my game any more. I hate Origin!! Lucky I was able to get my save but now I have to install everything again
I am glad I saw this.
I will not play anything related to origin until this is fixed. I value TS3 more than anything else they have.
Thanks for the warning.
i wish i did that but I didn't, it took out some of my game packs and when I am downloading the base game now I need to rebuy seasons, university and showtime in which I have registered and have them in disk

You registered the games with Origin? Did Origin forget that you have the games registered? Any chance you still have the registration codes for those expansions?
The solution, from what players are reporting, is to let Origin update but don't allow the "repair" process to run on TS3 items. For those for whom Origin no longer works, try uninstalling and reinstalling it (Origin only).
For those whose EPs and game have been "repaired" but got uninstalled instead, well that sounds painful and yes they will have to reinstall. But no one should have to repurchase games they already own and have registered. EA will sort this all out eventually.
So, basically, the best thing to do is just click the close-out x on that message screen & we're good? Am I understanding that correctly? Do we know if it does anything to our games if the Origin application itself needs updating (like it always seems to)?
Edit: Of course @igazor appeared as the voice of calm as I was checking the EA/Origin help site & typing this at the same time. *phew*

That's good to know, but I think I will stay away from Origin for a while.
I have a lot to do in TS3 to keep me busy for a while anyway.

Thanks for the warning. I will go on Origin later and make sure it doesn't try to fix what isn't broken.
There should be a heads up when that happens
agree this needs fixing asp....
and first step would be to STOP the update so it dosn't make more problems.

It's just TS3 and Steam for now.

NRaas has moved!
Our new site is at http://nraas.net
Ahh... right. I'm not doomed.
I would have probably (knowing me) clicked the repair game button.
It hasn't asked me yet.

Am I following you, @igazor ?
