Now not even putting Origin in offline mode is working.
I'm pissed.
I should be able to determine when I upgraded to the EA App. I would have been fine if that meant that I could not update Sims 4 until such time as I updated to EA App. But I should have been able to play my game without having to update to the EA App.
There have still be users with reported issues with the other Sims games that I own and still currently play. I'm not happy about having to possibly troubleshoot problems that should have been resolved BEFORE the switch was made mandatory to even play the game. Still seeing people report packs missing and issues installing store content for Sims 3. Content that had already been installed. And I have every pack and a fair bit of the store, including several worlds. All of my current games are in worlds that are either from an EP or the Store. None are in Sunset Valley. So you can imagine my unease at having to possibly troubleshoot my game to even play some of my saves. It's not like hairs, clothes, and objects, which could be replaced. The world not so much.
This will be impacting my decision to get future EA games - even those unrelated to Sims. Even if I have no issues when I finally decide to deal with it. And I had been trending upwards with my opinion of EA given recent previews of Sims 4 and other games. But this just killed all of that.
Just to give an indication of the type of user I am when it comes to being able to play my games: my main desktop is on Windows 7 because I don't want to risk the issues that cause Sims 2 to not be played to be present and Windows 7 has the lowest chances of that. Yes, I realize that this means I can't play some games. But I was aware that that was likely to be the case at some point when I made the PC.
I'd be having no issues if this was an upgrade your OS or be on your own troubleshooting wise if an update breaks your ability to play the game. Because that's what I signed up for when I bought Windows 7. More and more software and games not being designed to work on it and no longer being supported because of it.
I didn't sign up for having my ability to play being locked behind upgrading my app launching program at some point.
