was having the same problem too. but figured it out!
1. install origin and set up/login to account.
2. cancel the sims 3 download in origin.
3. restart computer and open origin to make sure the sims 3 is NOT downloading.
4. with origin opened, go to my computer, right click DVD drive, and open.
5. choose autorun.
follow the steps of installation as before but, this time it will ask for language, like it should do, and SHOULD say copying instead of downloading.
then the install screen for the sims 3 should pop up and your ready to go!
hope this helps you like it helped me.
