Tip to avoid update (if you want to)
Some simmers like myself want to avoid an update for a few days to wait for mods. With the past updates I discovered something I want to share.
I have set my settings in the EA app to not update my game automatically but sometimes this setting seems to be ignored. Using this setting is of course the first step to avoid or postpone an update.
However the way you start your game matters. I have two short cuts, one to start the EA app, another one to start sims 4 directly.
- Starting the EA app works fine. I can go offline and play my not-updated game.
- Starting with the sims 4 shortcut that directly boots up the game ignores my EA app settings. If there is an update available, it will overrule my preferences in the app and update the game without warning.
So just a reminder for anyone who wants to wait a few days with the update. Start the EA app first and then your game from within the EA app
