@GiardiniDiMarzoI have that disabled; however, in the past, I have not been able to open the game without first updating.
I think players should be able to delay updating if they choose.
(Also edited to add - I want to be able to stay online to use the gallery)
@gertie47You can play offline as @giardiniDiMarzol mentioned, but I believe you can still view/access the gallery via a browser, instead of via the game. You would probably have to manually move anything you download from your downloads folder to your Sims 4 tray folder, but it should still work. I have yet to test this, but this is a good reason for me to try it as well!
This of course would likely only be a workaround for PC players.
Edited to add the gallery link: https://www.ea.com/en-ca/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery
Edited to add that it looks like it's only possible to favorite items or "add to downloads" for when you ARE playing online again...but I suppose you can still browse for later gameplay at least? Sorry I don't have a better fix for you.
