Sims 4 won't download properly

[CalCJack]

So I got the sims about 2 days ago and when I started the download it went to 3% and then I sat the computer down and plugged it in and left it on all night and when I wake up it is still on 3% and I check the speed it is at 0 bytes per second. I close origin and repeated the process: Open, start download, and close Origin. After a while I ended at 40% and I don't get on until today I was inactive for about a day and when I get on i see it is as 24% I've tried everything shutting down, restarting, trying to download it on my desktop mac (I was on my laptop downloading) when I downloaded PvZ Garden Warfare on my VMware it downloaded in about an hour and it was a few GB bigger than the Sims 4. Is this just a server overload or does it have something to do with the fact it is on mac? Is it related to my network connection? I really want to play the Sims 4

I guess too many people may have over loaded it, it downloaded completely on a weekend.

Could you please check if enabling Safe Mode downloading helps (Application Settings - Advanced)?

Ok I will try :D

Even if it worked it will now take 40 hours
