The ea app is not downloading my sims 3 add ons

So I have a new computer sims 4 and thier packs download with no issue .Sims 3 after it install a couple store towns and one stuff pack .The download manager stops working .
  • There is an issue with Sims3 reinstalling on the new app. And even Origin. It took me a few tries but I finally managed to get 3 to reinstall on Origin.
    Then I install on new app as far as it lets me. Usually was base game and a couple of packs.
    I then copy the ep and sp files from Origin games and put them in the ea app folder. Bonus is if you already have an origin games sims3 folder as sometimes origin refuses to download as well.
    Note: I am still not able to get the SP Fast Lane to download or install in either app but may just use my disc for that one.

    For those who don't find the EP folders in the same location as @Bluegayle

    My Origin EPs are here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3

    I can't download origin anymore.I am just so upset now.
  • I finally managed to get Origin to download and install so redid my 2 & 3 that way. Then switched to EAApp.
    So my game folders are also in Origin Games now. Still not working 100% (Sims3) kind of a hit and miss on what loads. However 2 & 4 run perfect on EAApp.
