@ro5e142 You can disable automatic game updates in Origin; with this setting enabled, Origin will always try to download any missing packs. Open Origin, hover over your username, select Application Settings, and under Application (the first header), disable the option at the top.
Origin will still try to redownload your packs from time to time, usually when Sims 4 updates or you clear Origin's cache or reinstall it. This happens after you load the game to the Main Menu. So just watch for that—alt-tab back to Origin, and cancel any downloads.
The more permanent fix is to have EA customer support remove the packs from your account. You'll need to convince support that you really mean it and you're not going to change your mind (and won't be upset to have to pay for the packs again), and it should be doable. Support is on limited hours right now though, so you may need to wait until after 9 am GMT to get through.
