EA you are violating your own terms
If you have not updated your game past 1.67 don't buy anymore stuff packs or sets for Sims 3. EA is forcing update if you do. I bought 2 stuff packs and was not able to install them unless I updated...

I am one of the unusual people who did actually read most of the agreement when I purchased most of my games. As a result, when I purchased Sims 4 base game, I saw Sims 3 disks on sale at greatly reduced prices in local stores I purchased all of the Sims 3 disks I needed to cover the digital download packs I had for Sims 3.
I think the people in the shop thought I was a little bonkers at the time but I said I didn't trust EA to leave Sims 3 alone as they have reserved the right to do what they like to it at any time.
Since I wanted to be able to continue to play the game I had purchased in the manner it was played when I first purchased it, I was prepared to spend a little bit of money then to put my mind at rest.
If I have issues with Origin at some later date I'll remove it from my computer.
At this stage I haven't launched Origin for several months and probably won't launch it again unless I'm off line as I don't want to have unexpected updates forced on me. Especially if those updates change the way I play Sims 3.
I've got several games that require Origin to launch them, including Sims 4. I'm prepared to abandon all of them permanently if that is what I have to do to keep Sims 3 installed in its original format.
