EA App updating my game even though I have automatic updates off

EA App just automatically updated my The Sims 4 game (patch was published yesterday) even though I have "Update games automatically" off in my EA App settings. This is so uppsetting, since I have put that setting off for a reason! I don't want to update my game before I know the update is safe (the latest have been braking games so bad) and I have updated my mods. I have done this for years and know how to do it, my settings should be fine and I set EA App offline so I can still play without updating. I haven't even opened the App after the update became public and still, somehow, when I did open it, it said the update was complete. Could you please fix your App so that it works according to the settings we choose?
