"marbles ate my llama!"

I downloaded TS3 last year by buying online and this is what I do to access my Sims 3 folder (The Program Files one, not the My Documents one!)

Computer/Local Disk (C/Program Files (x86)/Origin Games

Then I get three folders - The Sims 3, The Sims 3 Ambitions and The Sims 3 Generations. In the patch post over here, it says to remove the Mods folder, except that there isn't one at all! What should I do?

I do have mods installed and the folder is still intact in the My Documents. My game version is 1.29 and I want to patch to 1.33. I have MasterController as well.

The mods folder is in documents, not where game is installed, having mods in game folder is the old way and no longer works.

Rather than following that post, follow the wiki article that post links to: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php...lp:TS3_Patching

That has up to date information.

Okay, I managed to remove the mods (Will reinstall them later, they're a mess!), but it says "Unable to connect to EA download manager". It's been going on for some months now. I tried reinstalling Origin, no help. I tried the link in the Wiki article above and it says "Invalid file" or something like that. Help?
