Is anyone able to start their game today?

I have no idea where to post this Q, if there is a tech help forum (except game help where we can't post) let me know :) No popup at EA help site today, but I can not get my App to work and find no info regarding tech problems. My library is empty.

If they have trouble 2nd day running, I'd expect some info somewhere, but found nada so I assume I might be in a smaller group of simmers just being out of luck. I wanted to try repairing the App, but did not find how to du that. Is it automatically repaired if there is problems, or is there any option I should click (but obviously missed or misread). I had turned auto updates for "application" off, because I assumed they by "application" could mean "game", but now I found there is a separate option for avoiding auto game updates, so I turned the app update back on...

Any ideas?

I'm getting a temporary lost connection message again! It's being stubborn again.

I almost always need to sign in, even though the keep signed in box is checked. Got the game to run offline yesterday, not tried today. The app routinely crashes part way through a gaming session but so far, the game itself survives.

You can run the TS4_x64.exe directly from the sims 4 game bin without the EA App by disabling your ethernet adapter in windows settings. Heck, I just tried by pulling my ethernet cable out and Sims 4 started up. The EA App tries to connect and fails. Once started, in the game there is a message like server connection is required-hit the x. Play the game

Holy **** Markwilson, you were correct! I have ready COUNTLESS tips to get this silly game to load, and yours finally did it. You DO have to log into EA app first while online, then shut down your network adapter (and I also shut down wifi) in windows setting, head back to the game launcher... and I'll be damned if it didnt finally launch. I spent 12 hours on this, off and on. lol.

Thank you.

I was able to update my Anime Earth/Moon family household with the new personality traits & dynamics along with some minor new objects updates on some of their rooms.
I’ve resaved them in the Gallery under my username SEREFRAS.
I’m only a Vanilla player so no worries about mods. Also I use a lot of my packs & some of the pretty kits. If any simmer isn’t up to date with their own packs & kits, no worries, just redecorate the rooms with what packs you have. And please credit me for the original, thanks ☺️
Oh, & have fun ??
