I've heard that The Sims 3 somehow runs smoother when it's downloaded from Steam and I've really been thinking about trying it out. However the only problem is I already have all of the expansion packs on origin and I've heard that transferring it from Origin to Steam wont make much of a difference, and I really don't have the money to repurchase every single pack again. BUT, I also remembered that I still have all of the discs.
So my question is if I transfer it from disc form and put it on my Steam account will it have the same effect as purchasing it?
Where did you hear that, and from whom? If you mean compared to an Origin install there might be some truth to it, I don't know, but not compared to an all disc install, which is what I have myself.
They can bypass the Steam Overlay with the TS3W shortcut just like a disc installation with a pre-2012 Base Game disc.

If you already have all the TS3 discs why not just use them instead of going through the trouble and extra cost of buying the game again on Steam? :confused:
If they don't have a pre-2012 Base Game disc their still stuck getting tied to Origin and forced to use Origin to run the game which is probably what they don't want.
