EA App Required Now?

I'm staying on Origin, but also have EA App installed.

With Origin, I can edit the lots in game in The Sims 3 Create a World tool. EA App opens the game normally (with launcher), thus making me unable to edit the lots in the world I'm creating.

I've noticed for the past several times I've tried to load the game using the new app, that it comes back with a message my game failed to load and to try again later. Face/palm. Oddly enough, it loads just fine with Origin. Oh, well. I do hope they work the bugs out soon. In the meantime, I suppose if all else fails, I've got an an icon for Sims 4 that allows me to get into the game. Unless, that requires Origin to use. :open_mouth:

Oh my. I just noticed when I tried "Repair" on the EA app it deleted my Origin completely. Thanks EA for a job well done. Now I can't play any of your games.

I've moved over to the EA app now, and haven't had any problems yet. Long may that last!

I'm still on Origin. I'll only move when/if I have to. When they switched from the EA Downloader to Origin, I lost a bunch of packs and had to deal with customer service for a long time trying to fix it, only to discover some packs were no longer supported. I didn't get them back until they released Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. (They did give me a free Sims 3 pack as a way of reimbursing me). I also lost all the stuff I'd purchased in the Sims 2 store and didn't get that back until years later.

As an aside, does anyone else find it humorous that they had an "EA" app, went to Origin, and are now going back to an "EA" app?

I'm still using Origin. I won't change until I have to either.
I'm wondering how the change over will happen; if I physically have to do it, or one day I go to play and the EAApp will automatically take over. *shrugs*

Thanks for the warning!

But why on earth couldn't they rather announce the date before it happens? I'm in the middle of a video project with a deadline, and I really don't have the time to risk any sorts of delays when it comes to accessing my game. If I knew it would happen today, I would have switched the past weekend...

Mine still opens in Origin w/o an option to update. Origin was the only way I could play Sims3 and all my purchased items. Now if 4 would hurry up and add horses!!

Hey all,

We've been in the process of migrating users in waves from Origin to the new EA app on Windows since mid October. You'll eventually see a message like the one above pop up when launching Origin now that the EA app is no longer in Beta.

You can read more about the new EA app on EA.com here, and if you run into any issues or if you have feedback to share please do let us know here so we can take a look and let the right teams know.

I had an unpleasant surprise today when I wanted to open my game. I had a popup telling me that I have to install the application. I can do nothing if I do not accept. I do not like that at all. I did not get good feedback from people who have already used EA app.
