Can two people play on the same Origin account at the same time?

I have Sims 3. My bffs want to use it too. But I want to play by myself while they use my account for their sims. Can I do that and if so how?

    @aamaia4life You can only be logged in to the same account on one device/computer at a time, so in short, no. You can have games installed on more than one computer/device, but since you need to be logged in to Origin to play them, only one person can play on one device at the same time. If your friends like the games, they should purchase them on their own accounts. 
    It's also not recommended that you share your account information (such as your password) with anyone, even your friends. Also, if you wish to avoid your account being hacked/increase account security, it's recommended you use login verification. Getting your account back after it has been hacked can be a pain, so better to avoid it altogether. 😉
