Solution for "Error Unable to connect to EA download manager" when trying to get updates
When I tried to update my Sims3 game, I got the
unable to connect error listed above.
1: Remove your mods folder per the instructions in this "Sims 3 Patch Issues tutorial - http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=350186
2: When you start the Sims3 game launcher and click the Game Updates button, if you get the error, "Unable to connect to the EA download manager"
Go to EA's site and download the EA Download Manager - EADM and reinstall it.
To install the EA Download Manager, click on one of the links below:
North America: http://na.akamai.cdn.ea.com/eamaste...m-installer.exe
Outside North America: http://ams.akamai.cdn.ea.com/eamaster/u/f/eaonline/eadm/eadm-installer.exe
Your game updates button in the game launcher should now work.
