You'll have to ask EA about that...
My guess is that it will probably happen about the time that Sims 5 comes out, and ship with patch 1.69. Alternatively, you can buy it on Steam during their sales, and get them for about 5 dollars each. But Steam and Origin/disc installs don't mix, so you would have to either play completely on Steam or use the free code that Steam gives in order to install the Origin download version and end up with patch 1.69.

Might I ask what the significance of mentioning Patch 1.69 is? Is that a good or a bad thing?

It's not good. Ungood. Double plus bad.

1.69 will prevent you from bypassing the launcher, which you might want to do when your graphics card was trying to render at 3500 FPS until you got a limiter. Or when the Launcher has decided to get squirrely. Or when you would prefer not to be online while you play, because you are taking EA's suggestion to shut down the anti-virus and firewall while the game is running so that the computer will have more resources available for the game. (And yes, they did actually suggest that, and it seemed as though it was a serious suggestion. ) Or any of the other reasons one might have for not wanting to bother with the Launcher and just get to the game.

It has also been reported that it has an occasional tendency to suddenly forget which EPs you have so that you need to start the game over and over until your EP setup finally shows up properly.

I don't actually have 1.69, but I've seen enough complaints about it to persuade me that I don't want it.

I put up with it for about a year before switching over to Steam/1.67. Wouldn't say that 1.69 was the most horrible thing I had to contend with all that year, but it wasn't the most pleasant either.

Ah, thanks for the reply. EA, why would you do such a thing? :/ Oh well.
