With the newer versions of Sims 3 (past Sept. 2012), Origin is a must for Sims 3. You can still install from disc (without having to download) but you do need to make an Origin account and active the game.
Try this method: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-3/How-do-I-install-from-disc-without-download/m-p/1384#M22
Should be the same for Sims 3. Just do the same for Sims 3 instead of Mass Effect 3.

Thank you!
The aswer tha you gave me didn´t work, But tha´s okay.
I found out tha you can dowload it not using the internet, just the CD.
for those who needs help. Here:
1) Pop the disk in (oh you know you've been waiting for this hot cake of misery )
2) Go to your DVD RV Drive(E🙂 Sims3
3) Click Autorun.exe
4) Course Origin will ask for you to install ( but it's just confirming the game)
5) Log into Origin ( make a account if needed)
6) Once you log in you must be online to download but dont worry it begins to download from your disk ( you hear the disk scrolling and all that jazz)
7) Sit back and see how much faster it downloads.It should open up to Install Sheild Wizard.P.S: I took it from yahoo.

I tried this but every time I try downloading it says;
"YOUR DOWNLOAD HAS BEEN PAUSED
Origin needs to install files and is waiting for permission. Please choose 'yes' when windows prompts you for permission"
- Anonymous11 years agoHello Sappire!
Aswering your question, I don't really know what's going on, maybe it can be your anti-virus that is not allowing you to install.
I'm really sorry, but I can't really help you out of this.😔
Hope you find a solution 👍
