Now I'm Told Sims 3 has an Update Every Time I Run It

Checklist

• I ensured I'm running the latest version of the patch, and that the issue is present in it if applicable
• I have read the entirety of the FAQ section in the readme, and my question was not answered there, or was not answered sufficiently
• I have ran general troubleshooting steps (if applicable), such as restarting the PC/reinstalling Origin/whatever else is described in the FAQ, and they didn't help
• I have checked existing issues (including closed ones), and there wasn't an existing issue pertaining to my problem (with possible solutions in the comments)

Your issue

I bought a new stuff pack for Sims 3 that Origin refused to recognize along with all the other add-ons. As a result I had to temporarily install EA again. The FAQ claimed they could work side by side, so I thought it'd be fine. However, I noticed Origin refused to open when EA was there. After downloading my item, I uninstalled EA again, and Origin (probably because I previously tried to open it?) began reinstalling itself. I had to reinstall FOEA and had to use the provided separate download of "version.dll" to bypass the update/offline windows. All was well, but now Sims 3 has permanent update reminder that pops up every time I try to run the game. I can continue without it, but it's extremely annoying, and I fear I'll click the wrong thing one day, potentially messing up my whole game.

Original always liked to seldomly do that and then it'd just verify the files and maybe change nothing in practice, or maybe restore the files to originals if you changed any of them. The option to skip the game updates is a feature of FOEA, normally it'd forcefully run through the update without even asking you
