i randomly got a update for the sims 3 out of no where which was surprising but i didn't rlly notice anything diffrent abt the game but im wondering if anyone got a updae to thier sims game too (i play on origin btw)
Or repair game through Origin, since you're playing through it (faster than a reinstall)
Repairing the game usually doesn't do anything to user folder.You don't have to "reinstall" to get a new folder.All you gotta do is rename "The Sims 3" folder to something like "The Sims 3 Old" and then launch the launcher, it will spawn a fresh clean folder, then you can decide whether its something with the user folder or not.

The factory reset doesn't fix everything (just a lot of them), the circumstances of this thread made me think "ah yes game install corruption" Though it's definitely the easiest thing to try first.
I would try the user folder first, you never know.Sometimes mods can do some crazy stuff.If that don't work, then I'd go to a repair of the game, and if that still don't work, a complete reinstall.
I can't find any info on a game update, but if there is, if the person has mods installed, perhaps the update broke the mods?
Did the game update through the launcher or was it an Origin update? I get Origin updates all of the time but I don't think my launcher has updated since the 1.69 ? What number is showing on your launcher?
@StephSteb it was through origin. I regenerated my sims 3 folder and it ran. Then I put my mods folders back in and it ran, but somehow the holidays were missing. I think it was due to a glitch with the nraas Tempest mod because I took that out and started a test save and the holidays showed up on the sim's work schedule.

And you tried all the troubleshooting steps(without mods/cc, clearing cache, new folder etc)?
