Ok so I had this issue too, it would not download at all and kept saying update failed but I managed to fix it. I found the problem to be the Sims 4 was classed as open in my task manager so I forced closed it (just the sims 4, not origin) and tried updating again and it worked.
Open Windows Task Manager, (Ctrl+Shift+Esc)
Click on The Sims 4 and right click, then press End Process.
I found there were more than one Sims 4 file open so make sure you close them all, if it does not work the first time try it again.
I hope this helps
