My Origin wasn't working at all for me for a while so I tried the EA App to get into my games. It worked well, so I am keeping it, even though my granson fixed my Origin.

Thank you that might work, but in the app I can't bypass the update. I will be stuck with the last update I have been avoiding due to bugs and glitches with it. Then when the issue with orgin is fixed I will have the patch installed. So if anyone can please find a way for me to play via origin again I would so appreciate it. Thank you again so much maggiemae8135. I will keep this option available if I get desperate enough lol.

I updated origin on my work laptop. When I signed in, again i didn't get the option to update. It started updating automatically even though I have automatic updates set to off!
Go figure that one out!
I have the blank boxes on this computer which others say they've had. My home computer didn't have that.

Such an eventful day! Drama and more drama! I'm in the process of repairing, and it's kind of exciting not knowing whether I will be able to play my game anymore this week, or not... This might become more intense entertainment than the game itself, lol.

I'm not even going to attempt to use the EA thing-o until I'm forced to.

Game updated fine on second laptop. And thanks to read here about the reload page in Origin, all my game pictures are back again.
This is all so traumatic!

How did it vanish? Did it come back?

Yup. The behavior of Origin appears to have changed.

In the past I could update Origin and then go offline and play my game, but it looks like the Sims patch is being forced, so that is my nice stable game destroyed if I let it continue.

So looks like I will have to update the game and I really, really don't want this recent patch.

Meanwhile, I have forced closed Origin and will do some breathing exercises to calm my anger at EA.

Maybe try the EA beta... im risking to say ! This forum is EA right ? :blush:

I am completely locked out now. :(

I am guessing because I closed Origin and opened it a couple of times, it wanted me to verify my account and of course no verification has come through to email, not in my spam folder either.

So can't even get into Origin :(

I wonder if there is special division setup there at EA to make playing their games as frustrating as possible. Perhaps they work along side the Remove User Agency sub team.

I logged into origin offline without updating it. I stopped the updating.

After that I could go into the

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin

There I clicked on the TS4_x64, it looks like the logo and it was an Application.


Would not have thought to do that without @CrazyFrog who typed up this path earlier in this conversation.

This way I can play Sims 4 without updating it appears.

I couldn't even load up the game today by staying offline. Origin updated by itself then the only way to do anything was to go online and now I am being forced to update the game, which means after that I will have to update my mods as well. Not amused.

I am so confused by all this. Will see how it plays out for other simmers.
