How long we can stay offline?

I am a mod and CC user, and I love them, but I understand that EA has absolutely no responsibility regarding mods and cc. I understand that people with weak internet or those who live in areas where the internet can be unreliable; I definitely see where you want to be able to play offline. However, if everyone puts in a bug report complaining that they want to play offline until their mods are updated, they will get absolutely zero attention from EA. So if you sign on to add your consternation with EA for not making it easier to play offline, don't use the I-want-to-wait-for-my-mods-to-be-updated complaint. It will get zero attention, and this problem will never get fixed. If you haven't tried it already, go into EA app settings (three lines in the top left corner), go into the Applications column, turn everything off there, and try to play offline. Mak sure you scroll to the bottom. If the app has no reason to do anything perhaps it will not require you to be online.
