Right finally got my account verified thanks to a helpful person at EA Help.
I have tried every which way with Origin and there is no way you can play without patching the game.
Downloaded the beta app and it has even less options than the old Origin. Can't play unpatched with that either, no matter how you try and launch the game.
It seems there is absolutely no way to play without installing probably the worse patch I have seen (based on user feedback I have read) since 2014.
So is this it now? Every patch will be forced?
I will probably spend some time re-modding my game this time but if the next patch is forced, I'm out. Lots of other distractions out there.
Hmm…. I hope that we will get some clarification on this. Otherwise the patch next month will show how it works.
Time wise I cannot update mods every month and I am lucky enough to be able to play my game offline. However, at some point there will be a new Dragon Age or Mass Effect at which point I would have to update Origin to play. That would be a difficult choice. Remain with the stable Sims 4 or update for a new Dragon Age but not being able to play offline again.
Hope this was a one-time-thing.
