The reason I came back to play the Sims games as I thought it was an Offline game. I had bought a lot of packs before I found out differently and then still later I found Origin was more important to the Sims then I first thought.
Origin belongs to EA I think they created it, so do the Sims so its nothing to be afraid of.
Its a lot of Reason we would need Origin
I believe its also a question of not sharing our Sims games. I am not sure of this but I have always thought Origin can tell if we have been sharing our games. Example: if you let a friend in Hawaii log on and play your Sims game, then like 20 mins later your playing in New York. I think Origin would be alerted. I mean its just what I think. I am not sure.
Also even if you do manage to play your Sims on a different platform. whenever you do use the internet they would know where the game has been played.
You would have to keep Origin on your computer to play Sims 4 games. I know because I uninstalled and had to reinstall to play haha.
Also, Origin does all of our updates and cloud storage and downloads, also we buy games through Origin. and yea it is EA
If anyone knows something different or this not true let me know.
They may also be protecting their copyrights.
One more thought, playing online or playing offline (using the internet) is not the Same as playing in an Online World. (you would also need internet) Hey, what year are we in after all?
