1.55 update for sims 3

For the longest time I could not download the new 1.55 patch for sims 3. It finally downloaded for me after 3 1/2 hours and my uninstalling my base game and all of my expansion packs only to be told at the end that there was an error. Now it's asking me to download the update again and it won't even let me play the game at all. I've been messing with this all week and am super frustrated!! One day it tells me I'm up to date and the next day I'm not. I did everthing the help page said, I downloaded the newest version of origin and I uninstalled everything and only reinstalled the base game and nothing is working. I tried clicking on the link for the super patch but it keeps telling me the link is broken. Can anyone help me?
