This is strange, I have had issues with updating origin in the past, and though I couldn't play sims 4 because you have to at least have origin up for that, though I never play it online either, I am always offline, I have been able to play both Sims 2 and Sims 3 without having origin running. Neither of those games are from disk either. It seems origin never treats 2 customers that same way. I do hate the application. I have to jump through hoops to get it working every time it updates, or the Sims 4 updates. It should not be that much trouble.
