need help! my game wont let me play offline anymore :/

i just tried to load my game after playing, it crashed so i tried restarting it up after downloading some new cc, but it wouldn’t start offline for me. i have to play offline so i have to load the DLC with wifi, turn wifi off, then load the EA app & im normally able to play from there but the option to play isn’t showing up. im using Anadius’ DLC unlocker but he recently left. most people that used it were saying it still works after he chose to leave but you cant update your game. so in Nov, after thanksgiving i tried playing & it said EA needed an update & was practically forcing me to update the app so i immediately started playing offline & that was right after Anadius decided to leave :/ 

every time i try to open the EA app after loading the dlc then turning off my wifi, it says “couldn’t connect to servers”. i was just on my game recently & it was working fine since november. my game would crash here & there but never anything big to where my game stops working completely. i never opened the updater or tried to get any new packs from the dlc because people said it would stop working after that so i haven’t, & its been working fine for me..

but now it won’t let me play offline AT ALL & i have no idea why. it could be wanting me to update the ea app again but i can’t because of the dlc. also we did have slight thunder later that night when o tried playing. the power kept shutting off so could that be the issue? i need help, please. i miss playing- any help would be greatly appreciated :”(

    Hey n0tbreajpg​ , those are the official EA Forums, so we won't be able to assist with any illegal build of the game (such as the DLC Unlocker). If you have purchased the game and other DLCs from trusted retailers or from the EA app directly we'll be happy to assist, but we will not be able to offer solutions for pirated games. Thank you for your understanding.
