  • bholder9-   If it makes you feel any better, my Island Paradise has been sitting in Origin with the same problems your having since it's launch date almost 2 weeks ago. It's also effected the downloading of University Life, and Pets has completely disappeared from my library altogether. Origin reps say it should be atleast another week before anything is fixed.
