I think I will hold off downloading this patch. I keep seeing issues with it.

I was going to do that but it's a "required" update so basically our choices are download the patch, or don't play at all until there is another patch. :( Ugh! I am sick of forced updates because of how it affects mods.

You are not forced to install patches right away. I often work on video projects with a set deadline, so whenever there is a patch while I want completing my ongoing project before adding the patch, I just wait. After starting Origin, I set it to offline mode. Then start the game from my desktop icon, instead of from Origin. This way I also can avoid bugs introduced by patches, and there's also plenty time to get my mods updated.
