This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Installing TS3 through Origin WITHOUT updates
So I've got a beast of a new PC and I'm really excited to get back into TS3, but there's just one problem....no, two. First of all, I want to launch it through Origin. Why is this a problem, you ask? Because I don't want the 1.69 patch. I hate it. You get like 3 popups everytime you load the game. It's horrible. I want 1.67.2, that's what I'm used to. Is there any way to make this happen and if not, how can I make it happen anyway?

(By the way, I only have the base game installed right now but I don't think that should matter.)

Thanks,
Pi

how about buying disc version of the game so you can stay with 1.67? I found some of them here, just don't buy digital download from origin

I have my discs right here, but are you sure Origin can find my disc install and launch it?

Actually, never mind, I'll just deal with 1.69. I'll delete the thread or something.

I'm pretty sure you can use Origin to launch any game, just like Steam. Can you not install the disc version and patch to 1.67, then click Origin>Add Game> Unify your collection and browse to the Sims 3 executable?

Trying that. Be right back (in 6-24 hours).
