Yeah, that's the exceptionally weird part about this bug. As far as anyone can tell, the notice is a lie. I have gotten it when it makes sense, like placing a Lot from the Gallery made with content I didn't own, or (on the PC version) after removing CC I didn't want anymore. But on PS4 I've been getting it randomly and nonsensically. BTW, online isn't obligatory. You just lose out on Gallery access. I've lost my connection a few times while playing and the game wasn't interrupted. I only got a notice saying my connection dropped and I won't be able to access online features until I log back in. Not sure why some are under the impression that it's required, but I know people who play entirely offline with no issues.
It's the EA app. If I log off and start the game, the app opens and says I need to log in. Not sure if that's another bug or not. I think I can simply remove the online features in options, but not the actual logging in to my account.
As for the issue, that's exactly what happened to me. New save after a full reinstall and repair. No CC, no mods, just me building my home with my paid for packs. I own every pack and the dust kit. I don't know why it stopped after I joined the newsletter and it confirmed content I had since the beginning, but I'm hoping it won't return, though it probably will if that's not the problem.
Yeah, logging on is necessary. I think they do it for security. Between pirates and that huge ATF scandal a couple years back, I'm sure they feel some need to monitor things. It's not required to stay logged in though. Just for startup. As for the main problem, I have that holiday stuff on both PS4 and PC. Been getting this bug flare up a couple of times a week on PS4. Not sure about PC. I don't play it as much as I have less content on that version. Missing about half purely in terms of overall cost. On PS4 I have everything except 3 Stuff Packs and 11 Kits.
