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...

Thanks I feel a lot of us have had to jump through a lot of hoops to keep our 3 game for some reason but as @igazor and @Karritz have stated even if you see a origin pop up you can usually click no or click it to close and it will not meddle further with your disc install? Also possibly from what you have said for some reason now despite your base game being 2009 it could be tied into Origin so that's why you are seeing the Origin pop ups? I would uninstall origin and try again and see what happens..
You said you play 3&4 with Origin on one computer maybe just play 3 on your most powerful computer and buy another cheap base pre 2012 base game disc and install without Origin being present or the internet? and play 4 with origin on the other computer?
I defo did not have origin installed or was on the internet when I installed the disc game version of 3 and experienced no problems at all with the install..
