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.
Just curious, is it not possible to uninstall the App? I got my game repaired/patched, but I did not install the App, and am still playing offline from that old desktop icon (.exe). I can't say for sure that I won't need to "repair" the game again when the next patch is out, but I expect that I won't need to. I think yesterday's big-big-big repair was due to changes relating to the new App.
If so, it will be possible to stay offline, at least until next time I want to patch my game, then I risk only being able to do so via the App.
I think the mistake that @SilentKitty and I made was to allow Origin itself to update. Usually this is not a problem. You could let Origin update and then go offline and play an unpatched game. With the latest Origin update, you must 'repair' and allow the game to be patched.
If you can still launch Origin in offline mode and stay offline, then I think you are good to play your unpatched game.
