Today, I tried to launch my game, but after it crashed yesterday, I would’ve kept it running if it hadn’t. When I opened the EA App, a message popped up saying I'd been offline for a while, forcing me to close and restart the app just so it could “verify it’s really me.” With no other choice, I had to relaunch it. What followed was this message giving me no choice but to update the app or quit.. Of course I'm now concerned that with the way everything is being handled, updating the app may force my game to update automatically.
I’ve been playing this game since 2019—religiously. I’ve been late to events, had arguments with my partner, and spent entire days immersed in it. EA has no right to make my property unusable. If I want to use specific mods (some of which I’ve even paid for) to enhance my game experience with the expansion packs I also purchased, I need my mods and custom content to work.
If that means playing on an older version of the game to keep everything intact, so be it. We should not have to jump through all these hoops just to decline an update. I’ve already paid for the game and the updates that come with it. I should have the right to play any version I want, without being penalized or restricted. This is my game, and I should have control over how I play it. If they're unwilling to make older versions available or provide a proper fix—one that actually works, not just a hasty, poorly executed attempt that only causes more issues—then they should offer full refunds to anyone who refuses to play if the majority of their mods/CC can no longer be used in the game."
