Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 3 Expansion Packs not downloading in Origin

Okay so, ever since this new update to origin i cannot download any sims 3 games, both expansion and stuff packs. I can redeem my codes for the games, but when i press the download button NOTHING HAPPENS; and when i try to start the game it tells me "Launching this game while a download is in progress can negatively impact gameplay. Are you sure you want to continue?" This is confusing as i cannot access the download manager and it does not tell me that a download has started, underneath the message the download just has a percentage symbol and not an actual number next to it.

I have never had an issue with origin before so this came as a surprise to me. I have updated to the latest OS X software and the latest origin. I have reinstalled my operating system and deleted the cache files from origin. I have reinstalled origin so many times and have also changed the destination of the downloads and NONE OF THESE WORKED, IM ACTUALLY SO FRUSTRATED DJVB;AIERBUVJSBNOLZFGHJLRAWOEHF

If you could find any solution to help me I would be really grateful, thanks 🙂

    This is a known issue which EA are looking into. Please try the suggestions in the opening post of this thread and if you could let us know which version of OS X/macOS you are running that would be great 🙂

    @roberta591 moved your post to the Sims Mac forum here at AHQ and I have merged your post with this one which, as you can see, consolidates all the posts on this issue.
