Run Sims 3 without Origin
This happens a lot and I'm getting tired of it. I strongly dislike how sim 3 makes me have to use origin to play the game and it gets on my nerves. Especially when I'm in places where I don't have wif...
I 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 had this same problem for an entire year, but I found a solution while trying to get rid of the chat icon. Go to the Application Settings and go to the Origin In-Game tab. Disable it and you should be able to launch Sims 3 with all expansion packs without using Origin. I guess this Origin In-Game Option is the thing forcing players to use a internet connection. Hopefully this will help someone else.
