When you open The Sims 3 launcher if it says 'there is an update available do you want to update now' you can click yes. Another way is to go on the sims 3 website and you can choose from there.

No you can't update the Sims 3 without CD because when you're updating you are going to save the update in the CD.
If your Sims 3 won't update try restarting the computer. If that doesn't help send a message to technical support as it should update.

You must install the update before you install the Sims 3 World Adventures Expansion Pack. Install the update by going to your Sims 3 Game Launcher and clicking on the " Game Updates" tab.
