Went to play my game, but can't because Origin is saying it's offline, I rebooted Origin, and tried login back in, and it still wont let me in! I've been sick all weekend, and just wanted to relax and maybe create some Sims in CAS for fun, and now I can't! I hate that we are not even in control of any games we get through Origin, if it doesn't work, we can't play our game, even if there is nothing wrong with the games! The game isn't supposed to rely on us being online, so they said, but it actually does, The Sims 4 has from the beginning! Of course I also have The Sims 3 and The Sims 2 through Origin too, so I can't play them either, thanks Origin/EA/Maxis whoever is responsible! NOT!

You can play it offline with no problem

You can still sign in to origin and play it offline. I just finished a gaming session for the last couple of hours by doing that.

Yep. I'm playing it now. (I browse the forums while waiting on loading screens)

Misery loves company, I guess. I had set aside two hours to play today, and now I can't. I can't even sign into Origin. How are you able to get to "offline" playing?

When I brought up Origin today it told me it couldn't load my game library because I was offline. When I tried to sign it, it said I couldn't sign in and to try again later. When I tried again it signed me in, but still said it couldn't load my game library and to try again later. Loaded it up one more time, and now it says Origin servers are unavailable. This isn't an issue of playing online or offline. Origin isn't working at all. (For the two of us anyway.)

Different sections down for different regions maybe? I opened origin and it took forever to load but it did let me sign in as offline and I was able to play. Obviously that's not happening in your cases so regionally different issues? I didn't think that was a thing, but it must be! :/

I couldn't go online for about two hours, but I tried again a few minutes ago and... success! It's updating to the latest version right now.

Thank you - that's what I was suspecting.

MIne seems to be back now but these kinda things are precisely why I keep the TS4 icon in my Dock. Origin has issues way too often for my liking. (bonus ones on Macs too :/)

ETA: and to no one's surprise, there's a new Origin patch to fix crashes.
