@brokenbr4straps Use the Super Patch, which was released by EA for this exact purpose. You can find it here, under "Cumulative 1.67 Base Game Super Patcher":
In case you're wondering, you do NOT need to use Origin or the EA App, so if you have either and it tries to update Sims 3, cancel the update. An all-disc install still works fine.
@puzzlezaddict I get a message the the super patcher can not be securely downloaded. When was the last time you tried it? I tried Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.
add: btw there is no updates tab in the launcher.
The poster says he gets a message to update the game - the update page does not work AND you don't need it if you have a legitimate copy and an EA account. On the back of the jewel case it says to activate this game to an EA account (I just read it) and it says an online connection is required. If this poster can post to these forums that tells me he's online. So it's not a stretch to guess way he doesn't have an EA account and if he has an EA account then he can ACTIVATE THE GAME AND GET THE DOWNLOAD VERSION AND HE DOESN'T NEED THE PATCHES!
