Feedback on having to be online regularly for Sims 4.

Every so often I get the message that my sign in info has expired. Both Origin and EA App has this feature.

I am not trying to be negative but wanted to express how frustrating this regular need to be online is. There’s obviously a way for the app to detect how long a player is offline and trigger the sign in requirement. I don’t get why this is necessary.

Surely players selecting offline, want to play offline. Why is there a timer? Sure you can’t get new stuff etc until you do sign in but that should be the player’s choice.

I prefer staying offline as you can’t decline specific updates or free add ons.

If I log in, will I be able to select offline status and avoid the new infant update for Sims 4? Is that possible? 🙏

(Also EA App means I can’t play Sims 3 until I sign in, which I didn’t have to do via Origin).

I’ll recheck settings maybe I missed something? 🙄🤷🏼‍♂️.

  • Still cannot get online to go offline. No matter what I do the app just keeps asking me to restart. I’m playing Sims 2 for now.

    The answer to all of this is that content we've paid for is being held hostage by EA.
    My solution is that until the problem with Offline Mode is fixed I won't spend one red cent on EA products.
    So Maxis, you may like to know that my game is being crippled by the forced use of the EA App and you'll be losing any purchases of me due to this problem.


    Same here. Have recently gotten a new laptop, officially for school, but the specs were LBY driven.
