I'm trying to get the university life expansion pack to install, but every time I try it says that I need to update, even thought my launcher says I'm up to date. I am currently on version 16.0.136.020017. I would very much appreciate it if you could help. Thank you for your time.
Try downloading the patch manually here:

Its not that it says i can't connect to origin even though im loged in.
But your game is not up-to-date (no matter was the launcher says). So install the patch and the message might go away.

You may have figured out a solution now, but my game was really buggy so I reinstalled the base game. With everything still in it (expansion packs and mods) the game wouldn't let me patch my game. By going into Electronic Arts<Sims 3, I removed my Mods folder then tried to update the game again. It worked, so I suggest removing your cc and mods to the desktop until the game is finished updating. I think the mods were too updated after I reinstalled my game and it conflicted when I tried to update the base game. I hope this helps someone in the future.
