Where do fans get the idea that Renee will need to be online?
I am not saying it's not possibility , but its probably unlikely.

EA has been fantasizing into turning The Sims into a multi-player thing for some time now. It doesn't resemble The Sims as I play it, but we've told them that already. They don't listen.
Because EA is planning to do some type of mobile mode, most likely it will be a cloud based game, requiring you to be online to play. There is a chance they could be doing something else, maybe with bluetooth, but that would require a lot of set-up, and be pretty shaky legs to base their business on. I'm not that technically minded, just theorizing here.
Anyway, given the human world, most likely EA won't be considering the rare possibility their consumers don't own a smartphone or don't want to play a game on their device. They will just be assuming everyone will be doing it. So it will likely not have a mode or format to play in offline. You will likely have the ability to not log into your account on mobile, and still play, so it won't necessarily require you have access to a mobile device to play, but the internet will likely be required.
I question how mods will work on a system like this. Will it work like it does for consul players now, I.E. no mods or CC at all, or will there be a way to let your pc's files somehow add to or influence the game?
