When I go on the Sims 3 launcher it keeps saying cannot connect to origin
I have the correct sims 3 update and I think I have the newest update for origin.

Try reinstalling Origin and make sure you don't have the EA Download Manager still on your Computer.
Follow these steps to remove any left over registry entries after uninstalling Origin: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-origin
Also make sure Java, Flash Player and WIndows are up-to-date

Please accept a solution if your issue is solved. XP is also appreciated.

You can bypass the Origin app and use the manual update found http://games4theworld.bestgoo.com/t1870-can-t-update-the-sims-3-to-v142-fix-manual-patch,then install Sunlit Tides or any other expansion you want to install.
This will fix the issue.

This is the only solution that has helped me with this problem. I have had the issue with the launcher since Origin and Ea first teamed up. I have done everything and spoke to suppose tech support and so on. Thanks so much for posting this aquarius007 u are a godsend.

I still can't connect to orgin from my launcher but I dont need to as I can access my games and download content now, If any one hasn't tryed it yet I recomend using aquarius007 salution it works, u can download updates and still play the game w/out dealing with origin.

if you use the download found at games4theworld and by origin will this make you unable to play your games through your origin account.

Im having the same issue i have all the expansions except superntaural and fast lane. I bought windows 8 computer and my game just wont load sometimes it says cant connect orgin and then sometimes i press the play button and it stops running as if i ever clicked on anything. this is so frustrating I did the updates manually and my computer is up to date. I even change the compatibility mode still nothins works

Did you move over any user files or is this a fresh installation ?

I have been unable to connect to origin for the sims 3. I want to really just play the Supernatural version of the Sims 3 so I am looking for a solution because I have already had two computer people look into it and they can confirm it is not the firewall. All signs point to the launcher or program itself i have uninstalled and reinstalled origin the sims 3 and java but still no luck if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Also this is my first time posting to anything on a forum so thank you in advance. I also know I should post something myself but i really have no idea how to navigate here. Again thank you ^^
