Hey @weepingdelilah once you have opened the EA app while online you can set the EA app to offline.

i also have this promblem and i love to play sims but i dont have internet at home or mobile hotspot to connect and even though i put EA into offline mode if i close the app or reboot my laptop i need internet again to play

That is actually exactly the problem... If you don't have internet to get online to set it to offline mode, then what? This didn't used to be an issue with Origin app. 

Same I need offline mode to work also, it sometimes doesn and sometimes does not.

It’s now two years later and here I am looking for a fix, can’t use my hotspot, but happily I was able to play until I accidentally hit my windows key and froze the game (that always happens now where it didn’t do that before), anyway, apparently now I am signed out of the EA app because of that, and can no longer play my games. I don’t have access to internet so how am I supposed to sign in to play off line?? This is more than ridiculous, and I never had that problem with origin, it wasn’t great, but far more useful to me than the ea app. This needs to be fixed, plus these are games I purchased to play when I am without internet, which I guess means never at this point. 

Same boat. I have sims to play offline. Never had an issue with origin. Played quite frequently offline. I expected there to be a fix by now. I’m extremely frustrated. 

EA_Darko​, I have been planning on buying the new F1 gam, but with how work is right now, i will be off the grid mostly, so no internet, is there any way to permanently keep the EA app on offline mode, even when i turn the pc off and on??? 

Hahah can never be me **bleep** **bleep** **bleep** 

There is a new thread in this section where one guy had his NIC off/fully disconnected. He fired up the EA app regardless, and as he said, he was shocked to find a list of games which can be played offline from his library, and was able to do so. This was just a few days ago, (very early July 2025) He doesn't know why it worked, but it's a good sign!

EA may be quietly implementing this service, which I agree should be possible, as a test period. I certainly hope so!

The poster also said, he has no idea if you have to login at least once per month or time period. Bottom line it worked for him. Somehow??

Sorry, I forgot to copy paste the link but it's recent.
