You're probably getting something like this:
Screenshot (this screenshot was taken before patch 1.39. Pay no attention to the game version)
I have a resolution for this problem. It happens after changing the email address on your account.
What happens is that you already have a file called ChallengeData.package
When you change the email address that is connected to your account, a second ChallengeData.package file gets generated causing confusion because both files seem to get paged at the same time.
So, you must remove the older ChallengeData.package.
1. Go to your game files.
2. Click on Downloads
3. You will see two folders with a long number as folder names.
- One folder will have a ChallengeData.package in it by itself.
-The other folder will have 2 files: ChallengeData.package and PassportData.package.
-The folder with 2 files in it contains your older ChallengeData.package file. Cut that file and paste it to a new folder on your desktop and name it something like backup for launcher.
4.Select ALL files in your downloads folder that begin with dynamicchallenge and the .bin file with your current email address ex: youremail@service.com.bin. Cut and paste these to the new folder on your desktop. If you see a file with your old email address in your downloads folder. Delete that file.
Restart your launcher.
Tada!
This seems to be the ONLY way to eliminate this problem so far.

I also have the same issue..
I've not changed my e-mail address ever since joining origin
I've tried on a fresh windows installation and only installed the Sims Base Pack (Manually patched to version 1.47.6.02) and installed origin direct form the EA website to get the newest version (And I've checked that my Sims sign on details are linked)
Also as I did this on a fresh install of Windows 8 I had none of the "Conflicting Software" listed on the FAQ section e.g. antivirus software etc....
Any ideas anyone???
