You should be able to install through disc.
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.
Let me know if it works.

Ok. By the time I saw your post, I had already downloaded it through Origin. However, now it is saying it's installing and and it has been "installing" for over 10 hrs now. Any suggestions for this? How can I just get it installed? I have now spent 3 days just trying to install this game and haven't played it once!

Don't know too much about downlaoding through Origin.
I'll check if some other helper can help you out.

EA seems to have some server issues on thesims3 site right now. Maybe the download servers are affected to.
