[Humble Bundle] Sims 3 has been downloaded, but it wont install no matter what!

The game was downloaded and I have it in my library but when I click install it just loads for a minute and does nothing. I managed to install the game manually (without origin) but then I either got an error (0x039e8474, Not installed correctly) or it just redirected me to the Origin Client where nothing works. I've tried all the ways to install it, but it just wont work.

I've got the 20-digit code but when I try to register my game on thesims3.com it says it's already been used. I've been looking at threads here for a day and a half now and none of these "solved" threads have been solved. It's all just "Oh I guess we'll have to wait" or "Please refer to this link blablablasupport.ea". 
My friend seemed to be able to download and install the game with no problem at all, while I'm stuck here at a dead end. 

I've reinstalled Origin, re-downloaded the sims3, followed all of the instructions on this site and nothing. It just wont install. 

Really frustrating.

    Got it to work. 

    The origin installs the game to Program (x86)/Electronic arts/ The sims 3 when it should be installed in /Origin Games/ The sims 3. 


    I custom installed it in /origingames/thesims3 and it worked.
