Try downloading the patch manually here. You're not up-to-date.

I, too, am having a problem downloading The Sims : Into The Future expansion pack. I just recently bought it from the sim store. When I tried to download it, it says: Before you can download The Sims Into The Future, you must first update The Sims 3. From the launcher, my sims is already updated to 1.67, but I still can't manage for Origin to recognize the fact that it's already updated so I can download the expansion I just paid for. I think from here on out, I will be buying hard copies instead of downloads because I don't have money to be wasting on things that don't work. Do you have any idea of how I can get it to work properly?? I have uninstalled & reinstalled & nothing is working!! HELP!!
