The Sims 3 says I need to update but it's already updated????

Okay, I'm going to deal with this in points - just  to make life easier for myself and you

1. You need to be updated to 1.67 - try downloading the super patch here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Current-Patch-1-67-Manual-links-and-more/td-p/67858
2. Look here for information concerning Unable to Connect to Origin 
3. With distorted pets: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/10/error-distorted-animals.html

Some technical questions from me:

• what is your operating system?
• does your graphics card meet the requirements here? http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements
