Community ManagerHey all, account sharing in this manner is not something that is supported and can in some cases be a breach of the EA TOS.
An EA account can only be used by one person and it is not possible to access the same account on multiple systems at the same time.

How is that fair to people who have been sharing an account for years since we were kids? My dad bought me and my sister The Sims 4 on one Origin account since we were kids and we literally have every single expansion, stuff and game pack. Are we just expected to spend thousands of dollars on another set of the game? How ridiculous, selfish and money hungry can one company be? EA doesn't listen to literally anything that it's users ask for/ complain about when they keep churning out broken, half finished games, and how when I want to play it kicks my sister out of the game? If it's a breach of the EA TOS then the offline mode in Origin shouldn't have been a thing to begin with. There is literally no reason that there shouldn't be at least an offline mode implemented into the new app. This is exactly why everyone either uses Steam or doesn't play at all anymore.
Exactly.. How can a company tell people that they cannot share an account in the same household?? How am I not allowed to play a game at the same time as someone in the room directly next to me, that we have both spent money on, especially for games like The Sims 4 that have net us *thousands* of dollars? It's absolutely ridiculous the lengths companies like EA will take to reduce password sharing, that they end up losing money. It'd be a hell of a lot easier to go download TS4 with all packs from some other website for no charge than to repurchase each and every single one, all because companies like EA cannot fathom people in the same house sharing a product. I'm just going to go back to The Sims 2, there was none of this password sharing BS back then.
That is stupid af. So, I can't play my LEGITIMATELY PURCHASED copies of Sims 3 and Sims 4 at the same time on my two computer? What the hell, EA? Y'all are overreaching.
