EA had issues yesterday. Can you check if you still have problems.
Hey, thanks for your reply!
Sadly the problem is still occurring, I spoke to some more chat advisers yesterday and tried more solutions such as setting Explorer as my default browser, some CMD internet related commends, following this guide:

Removing origin, cleaning my registry with ccleaner, re installing origin and The Sims 3.
And the problem is still occurring, I'm gonna try and chat with them again today, got too tired yesterday, any suggestions?
Where do you get the message ? Origin or the launcher ?
Did you make sure that proxies are turned off ?
I get the error when I click the play button in the launcher, what are the proxies? Where do I turn them off?
Control Panel --> Internet Options --> Connections --> LAN Settings --> Untick Proxy Server
Also try changing your password on Origin. That resets it for both the website/launcher and Origin
