Many of the Simmers at our forum like to do a clean reinstall of their games whenever they buy a new expansion. You should install your game's EPs and SPs in the order they were released whenever you are forced to reinstall the game. TS3's Expansions work independently of one other and combine all their game additions, so you are free to mix and match them, along with the Stuff Packs (SP). There are a total of eleven Expansion Packs released for The Sims 3, with no more coming - we are awaiting The Sims 4! They are all themed, and will bring a particular flavor of additions to your Sims 3 games.

I guess you can even make a backup of the game folder, uninstall the game through Steam, move the backup to its original position, and let Steam reinstall.
In Registry Editor, navigate to your Sims 3 registry keys.
This was originally written for Windows 7, but the same steps more or less apply in 8 and 10. Moreover, in all probability your saved games will not work afterwards. There is a way to disable The Sims 3 Expansion Packs, but it's weirdly and unnecessarily complicated.
