@DieQuicker You should be able to play offline just like with Origin. Start EA app, then switch to offline mode and it should change to play (at least it did when I last did but I think there was a forced update a little while ago so it might not work)

Hi, thanks for the reply. This does (sort of) work; however the offline status is reset every time you restart the app. If I for example launch the game through a desktop shortcut, the EA app is then automatically opened in online mode and I have to go through the dropdown menu process to run the game in offline mode each time the game is launched. This also means that the EA client will still automatically run forced updates.

There is currently no way to run the EA app in offline mode by default, I guess, which sucks.

    @DieQuicker yes, that's how it is. Was that different for Origin ? There aren't that many forced updates for Sims 4 though.
