@simmerLella The fine print on the back of the disc should have a copyright date, and 2011 and older means no mandatory Origin tie-in. The newer discs also have an Origin logo on them.
I've had this issue since the EA app launched (Create A World Tool worked fine, but Edit in Game did not), as of yesterday I got it up and running again. I posted how I solved the issues here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims3/s/MDecWzpGjb
Hope it helps some people, I have been so frustrated and heartbroken that EiG stopped working, especially since I just had gotten into making worlds and was really excited about it.
