Hi @faytheful
then that's why origin will not allow you to install just the disc without them because the version of the game you have is tied into using Origin digitally to the 1.69 patch to set up a disc version of the game you need a pre 2012 version of the game which is shown in the picture above and while you cannot buy them new anymore a good quality disc with a keycode can still be purchased via Ebay (that's where I got mine and it works fine) then I just bought all the other expansion packs on discs and installed them then used the super-patched to patch to 1.67 and my game is now working fine after a few initial hiccups that are now resolved..
