I had enough, I want the control over my game back!
Hello.
As it seems this topic was not posted properly. oh well, my bad then. I can make an other try... 🤔
This issue have been posted elsewhere but I do post here too because I need as much help as I can get with this.
Long story short: I had to replace the HDD in my laptop and after the update of the Origin client and the game things are going completely off the rails!
Quoted text:
I just opened up the game and for some reason I must go offline manual each time I do enter the Origin client. Now I don't trust this because this means that I do not have the total control over my game. And how do I know it's so? Well, that the game did open up a random family is a clue. Last time I played that install I did quit from "Manage worlds" and the family that now did open up had not been played in a long time. And one of the sims did die because she were to cold. Cold? She lives in Oasis Springs, it does not even snow there! Oh well, I was able to save her and I did turn off the setting that make sims affected by temperatures. Neighborhood stories is, as before, turned off.
But the main subject remains: How do I get rid of all this unwanted things? I want to start my game in a Offline mode, pick out the family I want to play myself and the game should not pick out sims to kill of because it want's to. I do have a desktop with Sims 4 installed and as the Origin client is not updated I'm always offline. The game itself runs perfectly and I have the total control over everything. So how do I do that to the other install? I refuse to play the updated game before I know how.
Edit: I just went into the desktop install. It has patch level 1.65.70.1020 and the temperature effects are On. But so far no one have been killed by cold. Not even that random kid that keeps walking around the worlds during snow and ice wearing nothing but a towel and boots (the game did not give him any proper cold weather clothing).

Edit to text: Now I had a sim die from low temperature before. It was before this massive update. But that was in Willow Creek. During deep winter and the AC was set to Cold. (she were saved btw). So that was my bad. But fact still remains: I did pick that family out for gameplay. It was ME alone. I did close my recent play session on the laptop from "Manage worlds". And now I was thrown directly into the family with this frozen sim from Main menu without passing the world. That means that that the game is changing the game without my control and that's very unwanted. I want to have the control back over MY game and what ever happens there! And I want to play a Offline game! I want to be in charge over this stupid game, not the game itself! 🤐 I do not that's to much to ask for. Is it?
