I Cry Foul!

Yesterday I was able to go offline and then get into my game. My plan was to wait until the mods I used are all either cleared (compatible already) or are updated. Today, I decided I would just go into my game and build the castle I wanted to use, since I have the 'plans' on graph paper as a guide. However, I had to go back online to access my game. Then, I accidentally clicked on the update (there's two) one is where you would normally click to start the game. Sheesh. I had to shut down Origin, so I could pull my mods folder! Now, I'm patched. I'm furious. EA, that was a dirty, stinking, rotten thing to do to us! Why could I start my game one day, offline, but not the next day?

If this game save gets borked AGAIN. We're going to have to have words. This time the Cantrell kids were set to graduate UNI. Yeah, I was that close to where I was before the EL patch set me back to the STONE AGES. If I'm shouting, it's because I'm a redhead of Irish Descent. And I'm raging hot ANGRY at the moment.

P. S. I have been a loyal customer since June 2005.

    Thank you all for your kind words. I'm sorry I dumped it all on you, but I had to vent, else I would have imploded. This Community is the BEST.


    So many hugs, that's a lot to go through, hoping for the best.
  • This horror has happened to me many times in the past. I hate the way they put the update right in my face. It should be hidden so I can right click and update if I want. I now learn to go offline through origin first then hit play or either only use the ts4 icon on desktop.
    I'm still scared I'll accidentally hit update one day lol
  • Origins offline mode is a bit iffy, reminds me of how bad Steam's offline mode used to be before they rewrote Steam to work on OSX.
  • Thankfully, I was able to save my current game save without any story-breaking mishaps. Erik lost his savings, but I can cheat that back to him. LOL Next time, I'll be certain to leave the data. package of SNB in the Mods folder so that won't happen again.
