Sims delivery (micro updates) ?

What does this new feature in the update means, after updating I tried to play offline after updating it said it needs to be reconnected to continue downloading content in the background?

Is this the end of origin offline playing? Nobody told us about new things being downloaded in background for sims 4?
  • @graventhe Did you figure out if there is a way to set things so that it still lets you play offline after this update? That's a question I have had about the new system as well (I haven't updated yet).
  • I need to know more about this feature too, if it forces you to log in to check for updates after any specific period of time. I play completely offline when there are new big patches out until my favorite mods and up and running, I don't like the idea of being forced to log in for this system to check for updates, as long as I can choose when and if I want to do this fine, otherwise I really don't like this.
  • I watched ItsmeTroi on YT yesterday and when you open your game after it updates you are allowed the option to choose how the updates are done, so you can disable auto-updates. So for those of us who use mods, once we do update our games we need to be very careful to read before clicking.


    Thanks for this, it has made me breath a little easier about updating now. I will just have to remember to read everything carefully.

    You can uncheck "automatically download" under the "game options > sims delivery" it looks like. Dunno if that makes a difference with playing offline, but worth a try probably.


    Oh, okay, thanks. Does that mean they have to notify me of pending downloads?
