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...

Would this be a good time to mention the Steam alternative? I may be "married" to Steam now rather than to Origin, but it's a pretty lightweight relationship that stays out of the way most of the time and lets me stay on Patch 1.67. There is no 1.69 for Steam installs and I can start the game directly through a shortcut to TS3w.exe without any client program tie-ins or needing the Launcher unless I want it for some other reason.
But that does require repurchasing the entire game, base plus all of the EP/SPs one wants, through Steam and re-downloading but not repurchasing all of one's store content and worlds. Last year's summer sale was fantastic and I got the whole thing for less than $100 (bye-bye to Origin after a year of putting up with that annoyance), this year the summer sale isn't as good but it runs until July 5 and is still a bargain for many players.
lots of people have been telling me about Steam. Why I haven't moved to Steam before now is because I've spent so much money on this game, bought the discs and the downloads, plus 30 + pages of the store. I have to think.
Like how you describe Steam, they stay out of the way :D @igazor
I'll go shopping for the original base game first I guess. That would be a whole lot cheaper. I have all the discs, so if I can get past that hurdle, I will be okay I think.
EA should give those of us who started with them in 2009 with Sims 3 the option to have the game on Origin or not.
It's really not fair to start out one way, then be corralled into another direction against our will.
And if they come out with a Ts5 is that going to be like Ts4, online, & Origin dependent ?
(know you & other players probably don't know)
