    I will mark this temporarily as a solution, but hopefully it should be fixed soon anyway.

    You may be able to launch the game if EA App is offline. For me, it only worked if I closed EA App completely, disconnected from WiFi, re-opened EA App while offline, and then started Sims 2. Please also make sure to delete Groups.cache and Accessory.cache in Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Legacy.

    Just putting EA App in offline mode wouldn't do it for me, I had to close it completely and disconnect first. Once the game is open, you can reconnect to the Internet again.
