I'm getting the same error. It's most likely the download and not your game.
let the creator know and ask them to try themselves.
Is the message still poping up after you said no ?
Are you trying to install the store patch or the game patch ?
Game patch is here:
http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Patch-1-63/td-p/67858/
Content patch is here: documents\electronicarts\theims3\contentpatch and find a file called contentpatch.package. It should be around 7.78 MB in size.
If you get the message over and over and it's that size, just click on no you don't want the store content patch.
I'm trying to install the store patch v 2.2 (I haven't played my sims in a while, so thats why I'm downloading it now.)
Should I delete the ENTIRE content patch folder?
Thank You, my questions are finally being answered 🙂
Will this fix the problem I have for downloading? When I download something, it just says "make sure you have the latest updates" (something like that..)
What is your base game version right now ?
Open the launcher and check the number in the lower left corner.
If you're not at 1.63, please update your game.

Yeah, just delete the content patch folder if it's not the size mentioned above and then re-open the launcher. It will ask you again but hopefully for the last time.
EDIT: Do try to be patient with getting an answer. We do this unpaid in our spare time so it can take up to 24 hours to get an answer. If you still don't get an answer after that time, you can bump your thread, trying to add new info.
I've been updated to 1.63 for a while now, and what file size?
I know you guys do this for free, sorry if I come off a little rushed; I've had this problem for too long, and I am excited to get answers. 🙂
