I don't want more updates

With the upcoming base game update on May 12, and even EA warning players about mod and CC issues beforehand, I genuinely want to ask: how can I stop my game from updating automatically forever? Every major patch breaks mods, creates new bugs, and turns the game into a stressful troubleshooting puzzle instead of something enjoyable. I spend more time resolving conflicts, checking for broken CC, and repairing saves than I do actually playing. Why do these updates keep introducing more problems instead of fixing them? At this point, I would honestly prefer to stay on a stable version of the game permanently. Is there an official way to completely prevent future updates without constantly fighting with the EA App?

  • you can go offline on your device then start the game. however, the EA app just logged me out twice for not being on Wi-Fi, while trying to start the game. They must know people are doing that and trying to prevent it. just another reason EA is a horrible company

    TBH, not sure how with the EA app.

    I know in Steam it's simple. For some games there is even the option to play older versions.

    As far as I know no other platform (except GOG of course, simply don't update it.) offers no such functionality. Annoying, I agree.

    EDIT: It's never going to be  a "new," function that will be added to the app. EA doesn't do that kind thing.
