    @acfan-69-csup  Try disabling the Origin in-game overlay.  The option is under Application Settings > Origin in-game.

    If that doesn't help, restart your computer and make sure absolutely nothing is running except for Origin and Sims 3.  That includes any accessibility-related utilities you might have installed, and make sure they're not automatically running in the background.  Please test in both fullscreen and windowed modes and let me know how it goes.

While the overlay was already off, you pointed me in the right direction! Just to be safe, I turned off all the options other than Origin self-auto-updating, which fixed the issue. A likely suspect could be the "load Origin on exit", as that would be monitoring the game.

Thank you; that ended up pointing me to where it solved the problem!

    @acfan-69-csup  Thanks for the update and the useful information.  That's definitely odd behavior I wouldn't have expected.
