I'm having the same exact issue, I've unistalled all my games and tried reinstalling just the regular Sims 3 but when I go to update it, it tells me it can not connect to the EA Download Manager, before I would get the error message that it couldn't connect to Origin even though I was logged into Origin.  I even unistalled and then reinstalled Origin itself and am still getting the error message.

I unistalled Origin, clicked, update, installed EA, which made me reinstall Origin. Still doesn't work. I then unistalled Sims as a last ditch effort. STILL NOTHING. Please, someone figure this out, because if I just wasted $20 and hours downloading a new game, I'm going to be fjdkafhnds,

Are you trying to install Dragon Falls? Maybe there's a problem with that specific software, because I've been having the same issues, but I've just installed the Plants vs Zombies one fine.

I mean Dragon Valley. I'd probably know what it was called if I was actually able to play it...

Ok, four and a half hours after first trying to download it it's finally installing. I'm not really sure what I did, I just kept installing updates, until it asked if I wanted to install a new patch thing which took my game from version 1.3 to 1.5 or something. You can probably find the same patch online or something, but I read on the site that you need your game to be a version 1.5 (I thought mine was because it said so on the updates page of the start up menu, but I guess it wasn't).

Hey guys,

 

I think it has something to do with the link between accounts Origin and Sims. Make sure your Sims account name appears in the Origin application (under Accounts) AND that the Sims launcher is LOGGED IN with that same account - the updates should then work fine.
