Some people do not have reliable internet. If EA is forcing people to switch from the origin app to the EA app, it is disgusting that they are forcing you to have an internet connection to sign in to play, not just in order to update your games.
You can play offline if you're already signed in but if you get signed out while you don't have an internet connection, you cannot sign back in into you have an internet connection.
There are a lot of people that do not have reliable internet. People in rural areas, people who travel a lot, etc. I myself am semi-homeless living in a hotel and I play sims on my laptop, usually offline because the internet at the hotel isn't reliable enough to update it.
We have paid hundreds of dollar for our expansion packs, and the base game for sims 4 is now completely free.
Let simmers and other gamers play offline!
