I got to thinking after posting my reply.
When EA forced the EA Desktop for download and install, I of course opened Steam when their deed was done, and it began to download The Sims 4 as though it had never been installed. I let it go, stayed online, clicked the "Play" button and it launched the game. of course EA Desktop was online and launched.

The Sims 4 is the only game with this behavior since the forced EA APP. I think the app is still in beta so the offline feature will not work on this game since the forced EA App install. I have tones of other games on Steam and they all launch as they should. The Sims 4 does not, because it is not linking to EA App to launch the game when Steam is offline.
