Re: Can you download Sims 4 without internet?

Ahh ok. In that case you will have a few issues doing this. You will have to use a wired connection to at least install SIMS4

After the install you can put origin in offline mode and you will be good to go.

Dont forget to mark solutions and add xp for things that help you out 🙂

Has this been the case with all of the sims games? All PC games in general? I don’t remember having to connect to internet back then.. could’ve been too young to remember the install process. I get times are changing and it’s 2018 but for crying out loud not everyone has the internet.. should be able to pop in the disk I bought and play the game cuz.. well .. I own it?

    Hi @sUperJennI0727

    you can still install the game from the DVD but you will need Internet to activate the game. Before, there was aggressiv DRM software on the discs to make sure that you don't pirate a game. Today, this is done with Internet verification.

    Also, patches are only available by downloading so, yes, Internet is kind of a must these days. After verifying/installing, you can turn it off though.
