I must ask, if I was to buy a Steam game, could I play it? All my Sims 3 games are digital downloads and are tied into Origin.
You have two choices.
First Way:
If you want to stay on Origin or Origin/disc, you could install the Steam client software, purchase the base game (again) on Steam, and then the packs you really wanted. You don't have to and in fact shouldn't install any of it, beyond the Steam client program itself. The base game purchase is required by Steam before they will sell you the EP/SPs.
With the purchase of each pack, Steam also throws in an Origin code at no extra charge. So you could then redeem the pack codes on Origin and install the Origin versions from there. As a bonus, if you register the redundant base game (and WA) on the TS3 site, you should still get 1,000 TS3 Store Points for each one.
Second Way:
Set aside your TS3 user game folder for safekeeping, repurchase the base game and all the packs you want on Steam, uninstall the game, clean registry, install the Steam version, and say hello again to Patch 1.67.
Note that either way only works on Windows because Steam does not carry TS3 for Mac and
