The game sometimes asks for activation if it's not showing in your account properly, that's why I asked.
Usually it should not ask for reactivation in offline or online mode. It also doesn't matter if you have DVD or Download version. Apart from where you install from, they are the same. You don't need the disc to play the game.
I play in offline mode most of the time (but with Internet connection) and never had to reactivate the game. Can't really help with the details why it's not working for you. Maybe someone in the Origin forum can help better with this.

I suppose so. It's a way of interaction between game and origin. I am not a noob, I am a software developer, thus just wanted to help. There are two points of interaction: 1. Origin checks certificates. 2. Game checks the certificates. It's a pity, that DVD version requires activation and the downloaded version doesn't. Still, Origin interacts with the game add-on, and for me it simply doesn't pass its status as being offline, or it's a bug Sims 4 not handling that status correctly. Or Origin which show hidden games? Because Origin already asked my credentials (stupid to do that in offline mode, but anyway).

Hey, just so I'm clear, on the disc version of the game, have you played it once in online mode before?
Well obvious the other issue is probably waiting 18 hours for your download to be ready. Its how long I waited for mine. I trying to figure out why occurred and found offline way was to turn off connection and use dvds If I known that all I had do get discs to play I would gone that route with strange behavior I received maybe if EA labeled their discs it might gone better for some us.
For me I think that bit crazy...
maybe what you have do if your have origins and account go to your game repair it. thus getting your ability go online? Whose know you get same crazy problem we all suffering everyday.
Never going offline symptom.
