Unfortunately, this does not seem to be working as of Sept. 2013. When I click on the Sims3 launcher icon or the Origin icon from my desktop, I get a sign in prompt and am unable to get past it. The title bar warns that online mode is unavailable, and none of the links work.
I'm running the Sims3 on Windows 8, with the following expansion packs:
Dragon Valley
Supernatural
Night Life
High End Loft
It's still possible to sign in offline but you need a one time online activation. Did you do that ?
I think so - the whole thing with having to have the Origin app open while the game's running is a confusing PITA. My husband poked at it and figured out if the laptop is in airplane mode then everything works as it should. Not sure why it works, but it does.
Weird.
Is that a solution for you or do you need further help ?
Yes, it works well enough for me 🙂
- How did your husband do it? I have the same games and everything. I don't have internet but I did do the install thing. I can't figure out how to make it work on air plane mode.
