I do not know where to click, because no game icon pops up!
for digital game downloads you need origin http://www.origin.com/download use the same email and password for your the sims 3 account as origin and the sims 3 accounts get tied together if you already have an origin account then log into your origin account your game should be in the my games tab to download and install if your still logged into origin log out close origin restart origin log back in to refresh/reload
