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 thankfully never had to deal with the 1.69 patch myself. I read all about the trouble it was causing. My solution was Steam. I got the base game and everything else, 20 items total, (all but Katy Perry) on sale January 1 at $6.79 each. And recently, Steam had an even better sale, everything for $4.99 each. Digital, of course. Special Steam patch at 1.67. And I do NOT have to run the Steam client or the Sims launcher to play the game.
It did take awhile to re-download all my store content. My new Steam install wouldn't recognized the backed-up copies of my Origin store content. But once everything was in place, I've had no problems. The game runs great.
I've opened Origin a few times for other games, but since I no longer have my Origin version of Sims 3 installed, I don't have to worry about the unwanted patch.
