Unable to connect to EA download manager

As of lately, my sims 3 launcher has had problems connecting to the EA download manager (now Origin, correct?) so I updated origin and everything but still nothing. I have not bought any new games in about a year or so. My newest game is Sims 3 Ambitions, so it's not clashing with anything i installed. I checked my antivirus firewall. Nothing. is it just something wrong with origin? is anyone else having this problem?

Oh, and also, I can connect to it during gameplay, and it says htere's a patch available for the store and I download it, but then it doesnt really download, because when I refresh the download tab, it says the same patch is available and it tells me to download. Please help. :/ Im waiting for a patch that'll fix the ghost hunting career and i can't get it if i can't connect to the download manager. Please and thank you!

    Having the same problem, have reinstalled the 'Origin', and when the launcher comes up I still get a message saying 'unable to connect to EA download manager'. I have tried to create a shortcut like suggest on another thread but the launcher is still coming up with the same message. I brought the sims 3 starter pack, and played on 'The Sims 3' game once, after downloading Late Night the error has occurred. HELP. Played a lot for that!!!!

    What happens if you just click the message away ? What are you trying to do ? Play the game ? Install an expansion pack ?

    What is your base game version right now ?

    Open the launcher and check the number in the lower left corner

    I am just trying to play the game. I played it once, worked fine. Downloaded another Sims 3 game and this started to happen. All I do is press play on the launcher and nothing happens, it just closes down.
