I've been trying to install it on my new windows 8 and the Origin window just pops up and asks if I want to install. When I hit install it just starts to install but never stops. I just want to install to my computer and play but I always have to go through Origin which doesn't work. I would return the game if I could just to not have to go through the trouble anymore.

Did you buy the disc or download version ? Do you have a working Internet connection ?

I bought the disc. When I click Run Autorun it goes to a "click to install" screen, opens origin and never stops installing. I've tried reinstalling many time but just get the same response. I do have an internet connection, and the origin program works fine, just wont install game. Cant I just do a normal install without origin?

It depends a bit when you bought the base game.
I have all disc version, bough the base game back in 2009 and don't even have Origin installed on my computer. Except the not being able to connect to Origin message, I have no issues.
I do hear that newer base game versions require Origin though.

my one is exactly the same. I can not get the game to install after the origin is installed. its really annoying. I've downloaded the patch but it will only help if sims 3 is installed but it can not install

What error are you getting ? What is your operating system ?
