The Sims 3 DLC and Update Installation Fix? **PS3*

When launching the game it says it needs to update, which completes successfully. It then says it needs to install game data and DLC to run. The install process will get all the way to 21% then freezes for aprox. 10 mins then it skips to 100% and then permanently freeze the game. The console is still running fine and I can stop the frozen install at any time. There is plenty of space for content on my PS3. I have tried deleting the game data and starting from the beginning with no luck. My PS3 system is up to date. I know many other people have had this same problem and I'm just looking for an answer.
