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...

Shortly after the 1.69 patch came out, I uninstalled TS4 and Origin from my desktop. After I did it, I was still able to launch and play TS2 but I wouldn't be surprised if they've changed that too.
But I did not trust them to keep their proverbial grubby paws off of my game, and now that so many people are saying that the patch is downloading even if automatic updates are off, it seems like my mistrust was justified.
I do have a laptop and have kept TS4 and Origin on that, but I don't really play it much. So if it ever tries to update my TS3 game on that laptop I will probably uninstall TS4 and Origin from it, too.
Knock on wood but that still hasn't happened to me yet. There is a tricky pop up though when you update Sims 4, where you have to choose between three options. Update, update and enable automatic updating again and don't update. Is it possible people accidently pressed that second button? In any case I always pay full attention when I update Sims 4, in case they will suddenly start updating Sims 3 as well unexpectedly.
