Re: how to play Sims 4 with 4 add-ons offline in either Steam or the EA app

@theomatics Is your base game currently installed through Steam? If not, please uninstall the EA App version and reinstall through Steam. Download your four packs, launch the game once while online, and then see whether you can play through Steam while offline.

The EA App and Steam are both supposed to allow offline play, but this particular function has been a blt glitchy so far, so I'm not surprised it isn't working for you. However, it should be fixed sooner or later.

Don't suspose this will help but when I'm playing sims 4 and I go onto the gallery it tells me I need to go online to view the gallery content so I assume when I launch from steam the game runs offline, but I'm probably wrong.

@JackAubreyCpt When you launch from Steam, both Steam and the EA App should be running online unless you've taken steps to change that. And in fact, last I heard at least, EA games in Steam didn't support offline mode at all. So if your Gallery isn't connecting, there's probably a different issue here.

For that, please see this thread:
