I don't want Pets in my game, can I still update without it somehow?

I don't care much for the Pets expansion but I understand that the way these updates work is that you basically have to download each one. Like you need to download one thing for the next one to work, etc. But is there a way for me to not have any pets in game or disable a pack somehow?

Thanks in advance.

Install everything and then just remove EP04 from your main game directory.
