Re: Filter, Hide or Remove Games From Library

Hello, this account belongs to my adult autistic son. He cannot meaningfully play Sims 4 but he likes to watch me play it on my own account sometimes. Mostly he just insists on always being signed into EA App just as he did regarding Origin. The problem is that he has Sims 2 and Sims 3 in his Origin/EA App account Library and in Origin I was mostly able to hide these two games because neither of them have run for my son on new or older computers in a long time. EA App doesn't allow me to hide games and this needs to be fixed ASAP please. Because my autistic son keeps trying to download and install Sims 2 and Sims 3 but then he doesn't know how to use Task Manager to force quit them when they fail to install and the screen subsequently freezes. OR is there any way to delete these games from the Library altogether? There should be a way to do that. They don't run and there's no reason for them to be in the Library any longer. Thanks, Hillary

    YES Hide games is a basic feature that was before in Origin. I have EA app library filled with expired betas, old independent expansions (that are now included with the base game (like C&C3 Uprising) and duplicated games (from Remastered editions I mean because one great thing that EA app does is mixing diffierent versions of the same game YAY!).

    Hi Hillary,

    I wouldn't hold your breath on EA fixing this issue any time soon. I just wanted to say that there are some great guides online on how to run older games on newer hardware -  I did so myself for The Sims 2 not that long ago and it's nothing too complex.

    3 years have passed and this feature is still not added to EA APP. You forced removal of origin but did not care enough to add basic features which were present in origin for years. Good job....

    Dear EA,

    It is such a SHAME and DISRESPECT to your CUSTOMERS to miss a basic HIDE of the games from library.
