EA download manager not working?
So I'm trying to install a new expansion pack of the Sims 3 but it says I need to update my Sims 3 base game first. I go to updates and it says "Unable to connect to EA Download Manager". I heard that EA Download Manager was replaced by origin and I have an origin account already. I try to log into my origin account on the game launcher but when I click login it says "this content cannot be displayed in a frame". When I bring it up on another window like it recommends and sign in, it still doesn't show me as being logged in. I've done this again and again. I've installed and unistalled my game at least 4 times and restarted my computer so many times. I'm so beyond aggravated and seriously just need this fixed.
