Community ManagerEA play signs out in the middle of game play after 30 minutes or so of being in offline mode and requires you to resign in. I, like many, have an unstable connection or desire to play my game remotely when needed. Origin had a stable offline mode and EA play does not. I, like many, purchased this game as an offline game not an online game. Save that for the Sims 5, as its poor taste to change how the game launches 9 years in. I've had this game since 2014 and no previous sims games required online. Again, save that for the sims 5. This is a single player experience that can be enjoyed while on the move. It shouldn't need internet, allowing players to have the full experience. Its unfortunate that the sims 4 has reduced the capacity of the sims rather than expand it.
This obviously was added purposefully by EA to acclimatize us to the future of subscription based/ online sims gameplay. However, it is truly in very poor taste to switch aspects of the game for those who have already purchased it. I do hope this will be changed in the future.
Thanks for your time.
