Currently, the only base game sold on Origin is The Sims 3 Starter Pack but chances are you might still own the original The Sims 3 on Origin. Your Library probably includes the original The Sims 3 because you might have activated The Sims 3 or The Sims 3 Collector's Edition, purchased it from Origin when it was still being sold, or activated it from Steam.
This only matters if The Sims 3 is included in your Library, if your Library doesn't include The Sims 3 or includes a different edition (e.g., The Sims 3 Starter Pack), you probably shouldn't get 1.69 when installing the original The Sims 3 game from 2009-2011. Otherwise, Origin will attempt to update your The Sims 3 game to 1.69. Notice to 2009-2011 TS3 DVD users: Be sure that you have Origin to not auto-update your games. This thread is to help you get version 1.67 after November 12, 2015. There may be some reasons you'll not want 1.69 such as using mods that need 1.67, having the ability to bypass the launcher, and starting The Sims 3 without running Origin as with The Sims Medieval and The Sims 4. For discussing the update, see What do you think of the 1.69 changes?. In November 12, 2015, EA has released the 1.69 update which is probably considered controversial among Simmers. Alternatively, you could play The Sims 3 on Steam. This shouldn't be a problem if you own the EPs/SPs on DVD but if you only own the Origin versions of those games, you're probably out of luck.
If you have EPs/SPs on Origin, that will mean you must install 1.69 to use the EPs/SPs or play on 1.67 without those packs. However, that means having to deal with the disc in drive requirement. The only way to avoid 1.69 is having The Sims 3 base game on DVD along with all EPs/SPs on DVD. Edit January 20, 2016: It looks like that The Sims 3 Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs downloaded from Origin will no longer work with The Sims 3 (version 1.67 or earlier) so that means any version of The Sims 3 (including most DVD versions) with 1.67 and earlier will no longer work with EPs/SPs from Origin.
