Thank you very much for your fast reply! I did some testing, first I set EA to offline and my PC to airplane mode, which I think that was far easier then disabling wifi and diving behind my pc to get to the cable. I also deliberately did not log in to the game launcher. The game worked fine! Then I tested it with internet back on (airplane mode off) and EA back online, but without logging in. Again, it worked fine.
Then I logged in and loaded a fresh save again. And came face to face with another bug that has been plaguing me for weeks now, that you choose a household or place a household, click the check mark, and...... nothing. Just a gray check mark, no gameplay. I tried all the tips for getting that to work, like going to edit town and moving in and out households, but just like the other occurrences this week it just wouldn't budge.
Something else I noticed yesterday: I have a habit of cleaning out my game folder after closing it, the package files, the mymailaddress.bin file and the likes. Normally if I remove the mymailaddress.bin file and wait a bit and load up the launcher I'd have to log back in. But today even after clearing it out yesterday evening it still showed my address and that I was logged in!
Does TS3 keep shadow copies of your login somewhere outside of The Sims 3 folder? Because how else can it still know if the bin file has been removed over 12 hours prior? And is there any way to get playing my account working again? Thank you very much!
