Please unban virtual machines!
I don't think I'm in the right room, but I don't know where to put it! I'm using a virtual machine: Shadow, because I can't afford a real computer, and for years I've played EA games without any problems (FIFA 22, 23, 24, and F1 games from 2017 to 2024), but since November, EA games can't be played on virtual machines! I thought it was because of cheaters, but why not just ban the cheaters? Why ban all virtual machines? I've never cheated in any game because I don't see the point, but now we're being punished because of some cheater!? Thanks, EA! Above all, we don't have a real reason why virtual machines are banned from EA games (cheaters are just a rumor), but more importantly, will we ever have a real reason or will virtual machines ever be banned? Please, EA, unban virtual machines, just ban the cheaters if that's the real reason!
KEEP EA IN OFFLINE MODE!!!
So I do not have internet access at home, and I used to play sims all day. Now I can't even play my sims, I'm just lucky to have hotspot on my phone to be able to at least start it up, which is limited. When I run out of GB for this month, I have no idea what I'm going to do... I'm so sad, and the reason I even got into the Sims was to be able to have an offline game I could immerse myself into for hours at a time. I DO PUT MY EA APP INTO OFFLINE MODE, but anytime I turn off the PC or have to reboot it, it requires internet connection to open EA therefore access to sims. So no internet connection? No sims ☹️ I honestly do not find the EA user friendly, if anything, IT IS AGAINST THE USER!
Filter, Hide or Remove Games From Library
Hello Community, I would like to provide some feedback about the EA Desktop Application. It would be nice to have the ability to filter, hide or completely remove games from your Library (EA Support or Self Service). The number one issue that I have noticed on all game launchers is the lack of an option to remove games, especially when they're demos, betas or just no longer available. I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes to see this stuff in their game library. I believe that EA Desktop should do something like this. It would be a missed opportunity if it didn't.

Wouldn't it be nice in career mode to get a new cutscene when lifting trophies. Like we could have the same concept like lifting it and taking it to the fans ect but even like different options such as how to lift the trophy and receiving winners medals. This would add a better feeling of winning something instead of seeing the same old bland cutscene we had had since fifa 17.Button to locate installed games
Hello, I'm opening this thread to let you know that it is incredible that in 2025 there is still no button to allow players to locate installed games like we were able to do with the Origin App. There are thousands of threads on this forum about players unable to select a folder where the game is already installed, forcing them to install the game again. I hope you will take this into consideration. Thank you.EA App So Bad I Quit
I wanted to download Battlefield 4 to play a classic game and have some fun. However, the EA app refused to connect me to the network along with limiting my download speed to 250Kb/s... I literally gave up and cancelled the download and uninstalled the game. Why is it so difficult for EA to just make a SERVICEABLE launcher.
EA App Instability with Sims 3
Ever since the change from Origin to the EA App, I've had consistent issues with the management of my Sims 3 and all of it's DLC, store content etc. I'm regularly having to re-enter my in game settings, from ages, to seasons, to time format. This is a constant issue since the change to the EA App. Twice now, none of my DLC towns have been properly installed. I should only have to install this content once. The EA App should not be allowed to make changes to my saved game content such as DLC and Sims 3 Store content. The missing DLC includes as above, towns, certain premium items etc and causes a 'serious error' when loading a town which is in any way reliant on DLC I'm unaware has suddenly been either disconnected or uninstalled from my game. I have been getting prompts to 'Register' my Sims 3 game with Origin, which I did ages ago. If I close this window, as I'm no longer using my physical discs for gameplay, it aborts the starting of the game. I'm honestly sick of this App, the fact that we're forced to use it rather than simply installing all of our owned merchandise onto our PCs and being able to start the game with the launcher, allowing us to bypass this abysmal PC app. Please fix the stability of this app with regard to already installed games, in particular the Sims 3. You've made a mess of it and the game costs, in total, a fortune.
Disable Background Service Option Where'd it GO?
Come on there is no need to have a background service running all the time while i'm not using the app. You never required this before so why now? My gosh, why do you insist on making me have to go to the services and force stop it every time. Just please stop being silly.Add ons vanishing
So, today I finally reopened the sims as I was ready to return to my world and hyperfixate on it for the week. When I realized that my Vampire add on was missing. I purchased this March 5th, 2025 at full price and played with it for a week before getting off. When I first got on today I thought maybe it was just not showing up since I had to re login and update the game. So I logged out again and still nothing. Okay weird right? I decided to just try to open my Sims world anyways and see if it was just a bug or glitch. It was not. It says I cannot open my Sims world without the Vampire add on or else it may not even function. Okay great let me see if I just need to redownload it or whatever. No, EA is trying to make me purchase it AGAIN. I checked my transaction history and what do you know there is no transaction but they make sure the free add on transactions are still there. I took it upon myself to do some research as well as talk to a representative via chat. They did not help at all. I even pulled up my bank account transaction history and there is literal proof that it was in fact purchased. So here I am again purchasing the Vampire add on so I can access my world. After this I am not giving any more money to EA. They are so selfish and money hungry for no **bleep** reason.
