I don't want more updates

With the upcoming base game update on May 12, and even EA warning players about mod and CC issues beforehand, I genuinely want to ask: how can I stop my game from updating automatically forever? Every major patch breaks mods, creates new bugs, and turns the game into a stressful troubleshooting puzzle instead of something enjoyable. I spend more time resolving conflicts, checking for broken CC, and repairing saves than I do actually playing. Why do these updates keep introducing more problems instead of fixing them? At this point, I would honestly prefer to stay on a stable version of the game permanently. Is there an official way to completely prevent future updates without constantly fighting with the EA App?

    TBH, not sure how with the EA app.

    I know in Steam it's simple. For some games there is even the option to play older versions.

    As far as I know no other platform (except GOG of course, simply don't update it.) offers no such functionality. Annoying, I agree.

    EDIT: It's never going to be  a "new," function that will be added to the app. EA doesn't do that kind thing.

    you can go offline on your device then start the game. however, the EA app just logged me out twice for not being on Wi-Fi, while trying to start the game. They must know people are doing that and trying to prevent it. just another reason EA is a horrible company

    They force updates against your will. It doesn’t matter if you go offline or click “do not update,” and Steam almost feels like their accomplice at this point. They updated my game yesterday, and I'm so pissed!!. I didn't try to turn off the wifi... but don't you think that is too much???? For everything they try to “fix” in the game, 10 new bugs or glitches appear. Sometimes they’re new to me, and when I look them up online, I find people were already suffering from them years ago,  which means the same issues keep getting recycled. It breaks mods and CC, which is very necessary in this game. The autonomy in the game is awful, illogical, but needed if not they only stand by. These people are really testing the patience of gamers, creators, and everyone else in the worst possible way!
