Sims 3 has been installing for 1 and a half hours?

I began to download it at 10:44 p.m., and it finally finished downloading at 12:02 a.m.. It has been installing since 12:02 a.m., and it is now 2:34 a.m.

I downloaded it on Origin for the PC, which it is supported for, but I'm confused. Is it stuck on installing? It tells me it's 100% complete as well.. This is just the picture of it in case you're confused. Thanks.

Update 2:

Update 3:

ACTUALLY, I'm going to play now! It just finished downloading guys, thanks so much! :D

    Exit Origin via Task Manager and restart. This error happens sometimes. When you restart, the game should be installed and ready to play. If it isn't, it's already downloaded. You wouldn't have to worry about it re-downloading itself.

    Restart your computer and redownload it and it should work fine!
