Re: Launch the Sims 4 Through EA app WITHOUT updating to latest game patch?

Is this still supposed to work? I'm wondering if it's just my app that's glitched, but I can't play the Sims if the EA app is open. When I go through the Sims desktop icon, it opens the EA app and then the Sims. If, however, I open the EA app first and then try to play the Sims, nothing happens until I close the EA app and then go through the Sims desktop icon again. This means that there is no way of launching the game with the app in Offline mode and so no way of playing it without updating, which I would really like, simply so I can play whilst waiting for mods to be updated.

    @Fuchsia-1989  Try updating the App itself.  Go here:

    C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop

    and launch the EAUpdater.exe.  Then restart your computer and see whether you can open the App, put it in offline mode, and launch Sims 4.
