Hello! Had the same issue and found the fix from a comment someone left under a youtube video I just saw. It's easy and worked right away for me. If you already have the base game installed just skip step 1.
Step 1: Install EA Games App and install The Sims 3. You may have to wait a short time while the application preallocates space wherever you decide to install the game at. Wait for the download to finish.
Step 2: Completely close the EA App in Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del->Task Manager)(you may have to Expand Task Manager in Windows 10 to see all running tasks), killing both "EA" and "EA Background Service" by clicking them and pressing the Delete key.
Step 3: Re-open the EA app and click on The Sims 3 under "Installed games", don't click the Play icon.
Step 4: Click on Manage->Manage add-ons. Click on any of the DLCs "Download" button. This will prompt you to 'install Sims 3' again, but just choose the folder you originally installed into. This sets up the base game and all the DLC to queue up.
Step 5: Click on the Sims 3 "preparing" box in the lower left-hand corner to open up the Download Manager. It will show that The Sims 3 is preparing to download.
Step 6: Click the X icon next to The Sims 3 to start the download of DLC. Essentially you're stopping The Sims 3 from downloading AGAIN.
