Thanks @igazor while I know my own expansion pack discs installed to my pre 2012 base game I did not want it to a fluke and give other players wrong advice.. :)

There you go @Feythful all you need is a pre 2012 base game disc and keycode and you are good to go as you already own all the other expansion pack discs.. If you purchase from eBay they have a pretty strict policy against buyers who sell items using false info so just make sure you buy from a trusted seller and ask them if the keycode comes with it..

I have tried to divorce myself from my Sims game many times when I have gotten fed up with all the hag but have always come back-)

You can still find new pre-2012 Base Game discs on Amazon but you'd have to know what to look for and be able to identify it such as Showtime Plus (make sure it says Live Edition) https://www.amazon.com/Sims-3-Plus-Showtime-PC/dp/B0050SZ0AW/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1465186276&sr=8-19&keywords=sims%2B3%2Bpc&th=1

Also Crinrict has pictures of the other pre-2012 Base Game cases the first 3 pictures https://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2014/02/sims-3-base-game-versions.html

I'm not sure about Pets Plus though but I do know Showtime Plus (Live Edition has a pre-2012 Base Game disc as that's the one I bought).

can you stop showtime plus from installing ? Already have show time
some software have this custom option where you can install only parts of what is on the disc.
Do you know if this is the way it is on this disc ? Would appreciate your input thanks.

Yeah it's 2 discs just don't install the Showtime disc that comes with it. Just use the Base Game Disc that comes with it.
Or you could try this one just make sure too buy New although the Showtime Plus Live Edition is the safer bet https://www.amazon.com/Sims-3-PC/dp/B00166N6SA/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1447405363&sr=1-2&keywords=sims%2B3&th=1
