The Sims 4 Gallery randomly disconnects even on fresh installs
Hello,
I’m experiencing a consistent issue where The Sims 4 Gallery becomes unavailable after the first game launch — even after a completely clean reinstall.
Steps I’ve taken:
- Uninstalled EA App and The Sims 4 completely
- 2. Removed all residual data (AppData, ProgramData, Documents)
3. Created a brand new EA account and reinstalled the game
4. Tested on different networks and changed DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4)
5. Tried with no Tray, Saves, or Mods folders
6. Used VPN (worked once, then failed again)
7. Ran the game as administrator
8. Confirmed that Gallery works fine on the Sims official online gallery site
In-game, after the first launch, the Gallery stops working and shows:
“You must be online to access this feature,”
even though EA App reports I’m online. One time I also received this in-game notification:
"EA App has been closed, some features are unavailable."
This feels like an EA-side bug or server sync issue, not a problem with my system or account. I would appreciate it if this could be investigated further.
Thank you.
