Re: Please is it possible to use an old version of the Sims 4 with newer packs?

@QueenRia  No, this isn't possible.  Each new pack comes with a patch that makes the base game compatible with that pack, and without that patch, the new pack's data won't load properly.  So for any given patch level, you can only run the packs that were released concurrently with or prior to that patch.

Furthermore, there is no way to legally obtain an older copy of Sims 4 other than installing the Legacy Edition, which is frozen at the state the game was in in October 2019.  Other than that, Origin and the EA App only offer a fully-updated game.

The best solution here is to look into mods that disable or change new features you don't like.

    @QueenRia 

    I have mods for Wants and Fears. I'm not allowed to link directly to them, but I have:

    1. Bosselady TV's better fears mod. (makes them harder to get)

    2. I'm using TearsofTyr's individual fears mod to get rid of the ones I find most obnoxious (dead-end job, death, unfulfilled dreams, being cheated on). There's another version that disables all fears, but I figured I'd see if the rarer ones bugged me.

    3. MissyHissy's personality mod and custom wants.

    I see there are more wants and fears related mods, but those are the only ones I've personally used.

    (Sadly, I do know this doesn't help our console players. ☹️ )
