Community AdminI can play offline with all accounts I tested with. I tried it with the download and the disc version and on several different computers.
What exactly do you get as an error message? What happens when you try to play?
I have purchased and downloaded all of my Sims 3 games through Origin.
Whenever I go to launch the Sims 3 game/s Origin pops up and asks me to sign in.
Most of the time I get to play the Sims is whilst there is no internet connection, due to this I am unable to log into Origin to even access the games that I have paid for.
For me this is a real pain and I wish that they could sort it out.

There is a bug with origin where it has taken over as admin where you must log into origin to play. Origin is acting as admin for the game even though origin properties does state my computer is admin. Have an on going case with EA and they are supposed to get back to me. Read my thread about this issue. Also check you DxDiag see if you are seeing errors that have to do with Origin and TS3W file like I am getting

I never been able to play sims 3 without Origin, but I have no problem with playing offline, I put origin in offline mode and then I disconnect myself from the internet cause it's run smoother when I do.

I have always been able to bypass Origin and the launcher and never had to get on line to play the game. The Launcher runs high disc usage and so does origin hogging your ram. Bypassing both the game plays even better.

consider yourself lucky , all my sim 3 games were registered then one day the registration was gone from origin and it wont let me re register them hence if I wanna play I gotta buy new games
