@TPMoriarty You should indeed be able to play offline, but Origin needs to be running in the background.
Could you try placing Origin in Offline mode while you have internet connection (you can do this in the top left hand corner of the client in Origin menu) and then try playing? If you then disconnect internet while Origin is already offline you should not have issues.

Hello Kristi,
Yes, I can play just fine that way. No problems there. It is only when the internet connection is down that I suddenly cannot play. I can login to Origins while offline, but not play the games.
I have also noticed that when I have a good internet connection and play while offline that either Origin or the Sims is still accessing the internet. When the internet connection is lost, the games will not play and I get the notice that they require Origin to run.
@TPMoriarty That is very weird!
Could you try running a repair on both Sims 3 and Sims 4 to check then if the same happens? To repair the game, right click the base games tile in Origin client and select 'Repair Game' (you need to have internet connection to do this).
