'Enable Online Features Access' missing in game options

Hi Sims2befun​ 

seems to be a general issue. I don't have it either.

Trying to find if it was moved somewhere else

There is no option to not connect to the Gallery when playing the game.  I don't want to connect to the gallery, it bloats the localthumbcache.package file, and slows game play.

I deleted the Sims 4 Folder, repaired the game, and launched the game.  Under Game Options / Other, there is no option to not connect online.

Hi,

Marketplace has replaced Sims Delivery Express and it's no longer possible to disable Online Social Features Access (Turning off Gallery, Events and Shopping Cart notifications).

SDX was introduced in 2021. (Blog article : https://www.ea.com/news/sims-411-recap-oct-29-2021 )

No more SDX doesn't surprise me. It's been ages since the last time we received something as an SDX instead of an update. 

But this is the first time I hear we can no longer play in offline mode. Playing offline, at least a few days after a patch is essential for many who play with mods. Or are you just referring to the disable Online Social Features when you say no more offline

He must refer only that or something.. as I play offline mode just fine. Marketplace has not changed anything in that.

I always turn off Online Social Features unless there's a Login Event. I don't mind the Marketplace, as long as it doesn't hinder the way I play. Although my concern is when Sims 4 finally sunsets, will it also sunset Marketplace? And what will happen to the Kits purchased through Marketplace? Will they remain with the account or not?
