Where do I download EA Download Manager?

When I try to update the Sims 3 for PC from the launcher, it says "Unable to connect to the EA Download Manager". I already have Origin successfully installed on my computer, but I have searched all over and can not find where to get the EA Download Manager...

    Hi

    EA Download Manager is now Origin. I got that message because of the new patch available, 1.55. Open The Sims 3 Launcher, go to the Game Updates tab, click on refresh and you should get a message saying that there is a new update available, click on Update Now. If the message doesn't appear or if you have problems installing the new patch via Launcher, try installing the Super Patch.

    NOTE: Read this on what to do before patching

    If after updating you still get the same message try:

    Did you do the 2nd part I explained? About uninstalling / installing Origin and checking for the programs that conflict with Origin?
