I don't have a very good memory but I remember there was never a game or bin.

Every installation of TS3 has the executables within Game\Bin -- that includes Disc, Steam, Origin, even the Mac version. What's different among them is the path one has to take to find that structure. But this is all within Program Files (x86), not an area where players should usually be looking around on any kind of regular basis unless they are doing one-time tasks like adjusting the sgr files to force graphics card recognition or replacing a base game or EP world with a fixed version.
What most of us who can use a Launcher bypass do is shortcut the correct executable, so that should be TS3w.exe (with the "w" for Patch 1.67) and place that shortcut somewhere much easier to reach like on the Desktop so we don't have to keep digging through all that to look for it. The structure of the The Sims 3 user game folder in Documents is very different, but that's not where the game's program files are.
I'm sorry you're having trouble getting your game running again, but there being a deep path through Program Files (x86) to the game's executable files is not the sign that something is wrong.
