This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, Ambitions, Generations, Seasons, Island Paradise
Origin Download speeds are going insane.
I literally can't take this anymore. I am downloading Sims 3 (base game) through Origin. However, It goes from 4mb to 0b and the download never gets finished. I am using my dad's mobile hotspot which is unlimited and has pretty nice speeds, but after all, it's still a MOBILE hotspot. I have been researching and researching to try and make it download faster. R&D Mode? Check. Flush DNS? Check. Run Origin as admin? Check. Safe Mode Downloading makes it even slower. I am so frustrated right now, i'm even thinking of putting on my eyepatch and sailing the seven seas. No, seriously THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'd rather buy this if I were you and patch it to 1.67

I got a Collector's Edition for €62 the other day, because I realized how ridiculous it was that I don't have the collector's edition of my most played video game of all.
And now that you mention it, @PapaEmy, that means I'll have a new, fully unpatched copy of the game too. Oh, how I look forward to not using that second copy!

Well.. all TS3 BG disc copy versions are not fully patched to 1.67, none of them are, because the patch was provided separately by downloading the superpatch with free of charge, but in my understanding if you buy it from origin then it's automatically patched to 1.69. I personally don't want the 1.69

Which is why I'm so happy to get this one, because it's been sitting in a warehouse sealed and wrapped since 2009.
Now if only I could turn back the clock to 2009 and do whatever it is that makes me want to go back to 2009...
