Deletion wondering

Not sure where to put this, so picked general.

I loathe 'Seasons'. What it adds does not remotely compensate for the havoc it has wrought in my game. So am upset that the app in its infinite lack of wisdom or politeness activated it again after years of blissful absence. Have found where EP5 lives on the computer. If I move the folders to where the game can't find them will that bring the desired peace and tranquility, or will the whole shebang blow up?

Alternatively, is there a way to do the disable thing again now that the app is here? Am not comfy with anything online for fear of an imposed mass update spree that will utterly wreck the game.

Thanx in advance for suggestions, help, and general advice.
  • Here are instructions by @crinrict on how to disable packs in the EA App

  • I think this might be what you are looking for.

  • If you are open to using mods (or if there is someone else with the same problem, who is) Carl has a mod that lets you disable seasons and some other aspects of the pack but you can keep CAS & BB. You can find it and more info here:

  • @Oldeseadogge you can remove them on you EA App if you are playing through it.

    Hi @Oldeseadogge , are you playing on Origin or EA App?


    On the app, unfortunately. Got to the place where could no longer avoid it. The good thing so far is that can play offline. The app is what got Seasons back into the game. Just put it in, not even asking if I wanted it or not. Seems rather heavy handed.

    How? Online or offline?
  • Thank you everyone! I have some investigating to do. Anyone know what happens if the EP5 folders are moved out of game?
  • Thank you. Lots of helpful information there, directly and via links to additional reading. All sorts of options are available.
