Sorry, I see you already stated that. Dah me.

I'm not sure from your description so just to make sure: Do all of your games now show up in Origin and did you install them all as download version ? Can you play if you're offline ? Did you try that ?
all of my games do show up and when I only download and install the base game and world adventures then it works fine but if I try and download and add any more I have the problem connecting to server. I have tried installing them in order by release date aphabetically backwards you name it nothing works. Ive even tried just installing the base game and one expansion at a time but that didnt work either. can you play offline if you use origin?

Yes you can. You start Origin in offline mode. There should be an option on the menu to play offline.
I know you stated that you checked firewall and stuff but wanna give you this list anyways:
Here's a list of programs that are known to cause a conflict: https://help.ea.com/article/programs-that-may-cause-conflicts-with-origin- ApprovedAnonymous12 years ago
I tried to play offline but it said I need to be online the first time to varify ownership of game.
as far as conflicting programs I did the msconfig thing to stop services and start up programs and I turned off windows defender my norton has expired. I went thru your list and none of those are either on my laptop or they arent running.

Is this a laptop computer ? Could you maybe try to take it somewhere else to see if it's something about your Internet in general ? There have been cases before where people were not able to download/verify something and then with a different internet provider it worked like a charm.
To me, it sounds like your WA and base game are verified fine and that's why they work. The rest isn't so Orign won't let you play them cause it thinks you don't own them
Other than that, I'm really out of ideas.
