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?
