You cannot play The Sims 3 without downloading it.
You can run TS3 without the launcher. Simply go to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin (default install path) and run TS3.exe. The game will still recognize anything you've installed via the launcher. For convenience, you can just create a shortcut to that exe file on your desktop and start the Sims that way. You'll still need to start the launcher to install sims3.packs but you could completely avoid the launcher if you learn how to make s3packs into packages and how to install them.
You must have the sims launch open, and the hair/whatever, must be installed on to the sims. Also, you must be logged on in your launcher!
(how to update your sims 3) go to your game launcher and select game updates if it says that there is no updates just wait and then when you go to game launcher and it says that there is an update avalable then click yes then your game willl be up to date. hope that helps
You can only delete custom content. Open The Sims 3 Launcher, find and select the item(s) you want to remove. Then, click on 'Uninstall'.
