I can't speak for others and I myself am not outraged. However, when I moved my sims3 game (which i still play) there were issues with the store purchases so I went back to Origin.
It's an older game so that may be the problem but simmers paid a lot to get that content for their game and they should be able to continue to use it. Especially since it is still being sold.

Hopefully that issue has been fixed. Guess i will find out when I have to switch.

I haven't noticed any outrage about it.

I'm not happy for being forced onto this app because it doesn't work properly with the older sims games and to me that says that it isn't ready for being forced upon people. I and others have spent a lot of money on these games and we should be able to continue playing them as we have been doing all this time.

The Sims 3 store content is not cheap and being denied use of these items is unacceptable. If EA can't fix their new app to work with this content then we should be afforded the option of continuing as we are by accessing the game through Origin.

I got the the message on Thursday telling me to install the new EA App and since then I've not been able to launch my game at all.

Yeah, it's no problem if all you play is sims4 but for the rest of us, having our sims3 imperiled by the new ea app, is the problem.

Imagine if you couldn't access a bunch of your sims4 stuff, because of the new app you had no choice but to use? You'd be upset.

Last night when I went to sign into Origin, a sign came up that said, EA app will download...no choice. So I thought here I go. Actually it worked like it was supposed to, thank heavens. Sorry some are having trouble.

Do you play 2 UC and 3 as well and did they transfer over properly? And did your store content from 3 also?

Are they phasing Origin out? Should I just only use the new EA app? How do I stop Origin from loading automatically cause you can't have both active on your computer at the same time.

Do you have Origin set to open when you power up your computer? If so change that. If it's opening when you open the App, I would contact EA for help. That's crazy.

I was forced to switch to the EA App today and it shows, that I have to download the Basegame. But I already own the basegame and every pack except menswear and paranormal.

I can enter the game and everything seems alright ingame, but it is confusing that the EA App is still telling me I need to download the basegame.

I already cleared the App Chache, but it did not help the issue.

For those of you playing along at home: I deleted everything and redownloaded the app and now it's working. Whew. To paraphrase Capt. Kirk "for how long though, for HOW long?"

Are you suggesting that you removed both the EA App and Origin? Or that you removed the EA App and reinstalled it?

I have no clue, but I read somewhere that it might help rebooting your computer and app a couple times until everything is installed.
