I feel like the EA app may possibly make sense for online multiplayer games, but I only play the Sims 4, which is single-player and I don't use the chat function. So I put the app in offline mode, which usually means that I have to log in once a day "due to a persistent problem!" You mean the "persistent problem" where I put the app into offline mode?
Okay, I admit it. I went offline partly because I'm waiting for the inevitable hotfix for this. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Face-Bug-Eyes-and-mouth/m-p/12486735#M247700 I'll be back! I haven't purchased Growing Together yet and want it, and the Greenhouse kit looks sweet! but in the meantime I would prefer my Sims not all be cross-eyed and develop shark teeth. 😉 But I digress.
(I do also use mods.)
I admit that this seems like a trivial issue compared to the other people here who are losing their packs, etc., but... it vexes me.
