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...

Interesting to see how far this thread has come since starting it. Have not read through it all (maybe should) but just recently removed Origin from my (desktop) computer because I wanted the game without Origin because I noticed the fruit we get with Bohemian Garden Set that is usually for sale in the grocery store, wasn't anymore. Its since been cleared up, thank you EA, but when I tried to re - install the game onto my machine without Origin, from the disc, it forced me to install Origin onto my system again.
I own all the Sims 3 games on disc, and I purchased a few stuff packs through Origin.
Just informing for those who may be interested.
I have the game on my desktop with Origin, and on one laptop downloaded from the discs before they required the 1.69 patch.
The fruit was selling in the grocery store on the game that was on the laptop (without the 1.69 patch)
When the game came out, we were told we can put it on 5 machines (think they said) but its slowly been reduced (imo due to Origin
causing so many problems with the game).
Need to add: Really appreciative EA (or whomever fixed it so the fruit is now available in the grocery store again) but would also like to say, we should be able to decide whether or not we want Origin when installing off disc, we should have an option on which installer to use. Its forced on us and don't think that's fair. Seems like the old EA installer was stable, why did we lose it ?
