I'm hitting every "NO" don't touch it that I can find at the moment. It keeps asking if I want to uninstall 3. I keep saying no. *SIGH* I just want to update 4. I do NOT want to update 3
Or it could be that it could be transfering toddlers from the Sims 3 to the Sims 4.
I don't think it's a glitch. I think it's very purposeful - It isn't happening if I can stop it. But they will likely not let me play Sims 4, if I keep refusing their updating of S3. GRRRR.
I'd be careful with the Sims 3 update atm. Earlier people were posting that the Origin update was corrupting their Sims 3 saves so maybe it's an emergency patch to fix that, not sure.
I'm too scared to put my Origin in online mode atm so I haven't really read through everything. I for sure don't want to get corrupted Sims 3 files so I'm sorry this is happening to you at the moment.
Even though I said "No" to all S3 updates, it is doing it ANYWAY! Gee, thanks, EA.
... and until it's done with my S3... it isn't touching S4, which is just sitting there, waiting until we go through EVERY Sims 3 pack that I have.
Again... thanks, EA
Repair it if it prompts you the option, but file a report with Origin.
Thanks for the info, @Cement. Unfortunately, I didn't see VIP's advice, so now my S3 launcher won't work. So... I guess S3 needs a fresh install.
If EA doesn't know ALREADY that they are deliberately messing up S3, I have a bridge to sell... ***hissyfit***
There sure don't need me to report. They are more than well aware they've implemented this. *biggerhissyfit*
We should NOT NEED Sims VIP to warn us! There should be something said about this problem RIGHT on this board.
Yah, dream on... and on.... Or maybe a warning on the Updater, saying:
"Before using our product, please see related Sims sites for extra help before Proceeding"
It may (not sure) already be fixed. I was just able to load up Sims 3. I don't load through the launcher though. I load through ts3w.exe. For people having issues with the loader, that's worth a try.
OMG. TS3 is her to stay, EA! TS4 is not the only Sims game! You're not tha prettiest girl in tha land, TS4!
No, but in all seriousness this seems like a scary glitch that I hope they fix asap. This is part of the reason why I'm weary of all game patches. What a mess.
I just did the patch, and Origin popped up with "repairs" for Sims2, Dragon Age, and Dragon Age 2, and my Sims 4 won't load. So... I'm guessing something is wrong, but I have no idea what. I guess I'll play something else.
Edit: Repaired Sims 4 twice and deleted the cache files in between, and got the game to load, so scratch that part.

Well, there's your problem. You need to uninstall 4.

Except for the days TS3 packs are on sale on Origin, so they don't connect appropriately....
