Is it possible to turn off updates permanently?
My game has gotten big enough that I'm not interested in more packs, and I'm tired of regular patches constantly breaking my mods and my gameplay. I've turned off the auto-update option in the EA launcher, but recently the launcher has started to try to update TS4 every time I open it (the launcher), even though the option is still turned off. I always have to hurry to cancel the update and then put the launcher in offline mode so I can play.
Is it at all possible to permanently "freeze" updates on the game so I don't have to do this every time I open the launcher?
Coming back to say that game updates can't be deferred indefinitely. I've stuck to version 1.123.66.1030 DX11 for a while, but since the Marketplace was introduced, placing lots has been broken and unreliable, while existing lots have been wiping themselves even on new saves. It seems like I'll have to update to keep the game playable, which is irritating considering all the work that involves.
I also can't start EA offline if the launcher has an update - I can see it in my processes but it doesn't do anything, even if I haven't opened the launcher since the latest update was released. And then when I do update it, it tries to auto-update and/or auto-launch TS4 even if I hadn't actively been trying to open the game, which makes things worse. I think I'm giving up on the game at this point.
