Can't download purchased world: Error javascript:GetDownloadAuthToken

Frustrated with my first outing purchasing (and being billed for) a Sims3 world I cannot download.

Details:

  • Purchased Hidden Springs via Origin
  • Redeemed code via SIMS3 website per instructions
  • Hidden Springs now appears in Purchase History, but when attempting to download, the download link shows:
  • <a href="javascript&colon;getDownloadAuthToken('store.thesims3.com','OFB-SIM3:45097');" class="c5 f4">Download</a>
  • Nothing happens on click, so assuming it can't find the auth token

Technical details:

  • trying to dl via chrome on a Surface Pro
  • I have already followed these directions - still no luck
Re: Cannot Download Store Content [ Edited ]

To fix downloading and uploading issues with your launcher follow these instructions carefully.

Make sure that your game and launcher are not running.

 

Next

Delete the Cache and Clean Up Your Game This will eliminate remnants of uninstalled items that can cause problems from corrupt or outdated data.  

It's okay to delete all of the following files from your game:

 

Go to your game folder and delete

CasPartCache.package

compositorCache.package

scriptCache.package

SimCompositorCache.package

 

Go to your Thumbnails folder

delete everything inside that folder

 

Go to your Content Patch Folder,  then click on Downloads

delete any file that has " .part"  in it. Any file with that extension is an old partial update.  

 

Windows users only may also delete items in the World Cache folder. If you don't see this folder, you just don't have any other worlds installed.  

 

------------------------------

Not a very happy customer at the moment.  Suggestions to turn this around so I can download my purchased world and perhaps have a better opinion of EA/Origin in the future?

    Oddly, resolved fairly easily myself. I switched to dreaded IE and that seemed to enable the download.
