Re: Is There a Way to Install Sims 4 Without Logging Into Origin Client?

You need to use Origin for the initial install. What issues are you having, perhaps we can help?

Once the game is installed and launched once, you can set Origin to offline and launch the game without using it. It's worth checking back occasionally for updates/patches though.

    i also have the same problem.
    whenever origins starts my connection gets cut, so i can't even install my game that i bought today.

  •    It's a problem many people are having. It says something like, 'you must be online for the first time logging in'(or something like that, I don't remember) or when I open the client it says it's offline. I've seen how to fix it, I turned off my proxy server and it didn't work.

    That's unfair! I don't have the internet and always get the hard copy disks for that reason, installing and playing offline, and then registering the product when I get the chance. The only reason I'm capable of downloading at the moment is because I have my computer tethered to my cell phone as a mobile hotspot, but I have a 5G per month limit and I've already used more than 3 since the data period rolled over a week ago!!! How is this fair? Would Origin and EA like to pay my phone bill this month?? Cud is appreciate that for all this hassle!!

    Hi, I installed the Sims 4 on my Computer using the Origin account and when i go in to Launch the game and start playing it automatically pops open a blue screen with a error and then shuts the computer off. I retried several days just gives the same blue error screen.

    Does anyone know what might be the problem?

    I bought the Sims 4.

    there's currently an update/new downloadable content, im trying to doload it but origin is saying this: 

     " x  YOUR DOWNLOAD HAS BEEN PAUSED 

    Origin needs to download files and is waiting for permission. Please

    choose "Yes when Windows prompts you for permission.

    Help us improve origin and submit an error report."

    Then at the bottom it says to click 

                                                                        |~~~~~~| 

                                                                        | "Close"|

                                                                        |~~~~~~|

    Although, there's nothing asking me for permission.

    Please help me!

    I didn't have any problem with origin , I launched the game and I played it just fine untile I stop playing sims 4 for awhile after I got back on to play and I had to log in I forgot my password so I had to make a new password so I got back in and I didn't have the sims 4 in my games so I tried downloading it again but when I put in the code it said i already have used this code. The game disappeared on its own and I'm really fustrated right now . I need help ?

    I bought The sims 4 and the sims 4: get to work. I already installed the sims 4 but when I try to play it, Origin request me to enter the activation code, so I enter the code and it tells me that the code has already been used. 

    Same when I try to install the expansion pack.

    Could you post the exact error message you're getting ? Is the game on your account ? Does it show in my games or still only the game time one ?

  • I had already installed the game, olayed fine for a while, and after the last update the game will nit open. I ha e tried removing mods folder, uninstalling and reinstalling, loading through origin and through desk top icon. Nothing is working. I want to play my game!
