I really do not see the point of this thread as a player origin is working fine no problems at all and sims4 loads just fine as well have you also check to make sure its not your anti virus blocking origin or the sims4 itself?
Good to hear at least one player is not experiencing any issues. Personally I think the fact that origin is suddenly forcing people to update without an option to play offline is something worth talking about. I usually postpone every update for a week or two to wait for mods, so I know perfectly how playing offline works. This time I was planning to play offline longer due to the many glitches. But EA and/or origin obviously don't agree with playing offline to avoid a patch any more. If I had known updating origin would result into this, I would not have updated at all. Next time I will definitely not trust an origin update without coming to the forums first.
But the damage to my game is done. All the new bugs and no way to go back to the previous version.
Indeed, I am surprised this thread is not on fire. Forced updates is bad - pretty much a gamebreaker for me.
If the next month’s patch is completely normal with origin acting as usual then that is one thing. Once, ok, bad but ok. If this happens often I will be less amused. I hope this is just a very very bad bug because offline should always be available.
I completely agree.
I tested today and after being forced to patch, I managed to play offline again. It kinda has no purpose now as the main reason for playing offline was to play a stable game without the latest patch. But it might just be possible to play offline if the next patch turns out to be as bad as the current one.
