Same Account on Different Computers

So I know that with Origin, two people can play The Sims 4 at the same time as long as one of them is in offline mode. Does EA allow this, as well? My sister is thinking of playing The Sims 4 again after not touching it for months, lol, but I don’t know if we both can play at the same time with the EA app. Also, would it just kick the other person offline like Origin? It’d be a nightmare having to wait for her to log off if she forgot to the last time that she was on, lol.

    @SimDork23  First, there's the obligatory EA doesn't allow account sharing statement.  Having said that, I've accidentally signed into the EA app on one computer when I'm already signed in on the other, and the App just boots the first session, I think maybe back to the sign-in window.  I haven't tested going offline in the first one before signing in on the second one.

    @puzzlezaddictSorry, I’m just now seeing this! It’s good to know that it’ll just boot the other session if you do need to log in on another computer. Luckily, my sister seems to have forgotten about playing so I haven’t had to worry about it yet, lol!

    I kinda would Suggest that if your going to do this?? 
    -- 1 Computer Online 
    -- 1 Computer Offline 

    In the Event you lose Data Offline (You Can't Get It Back) 
    In the Event you accidentally go Online With Computer 2
    (I Don't Know What Happens To Computer 1 & Computer 2) 

    Just be careful between both Accounts, & keep Backups
    available In Case Something Should Happen...
