Re: Can't Play Origin Games Offline

@Theglowworm1988  You could use your phone as a wifi hotspot, just long enough to login to Origin and set it to offline mode.  (How to do this may depend on your phone, but all modern phones should have the option.  Then you can see the hotspot on your computer just like any other wifi network.)  From then on, you should be able to load Origin while offline, as long as you don't clear Origin's cache, which would clear your login data and require another (temporary) internet connection.

You can also try launching Sims 4 directly from its .exe file, or from a shortcut to the file.  When I've done so while offline, an Origin login window has come up, and once I enter my password, the game has launched offline.  Unless you've changed the install location for Sims 4, the path to the .exe should be:

Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 4\Game\Bin

If you play in 64-bit mode, which you should if you have more than 4 GB RAM, you'll want to use TS4_64.exe; otherwise, use TS4.exe.
