The short question: Can I play sims with absolutely no internet/WiFi?
More details: I have an amazing, fast homebuilt gaming PC and Sims 4 is the only thing I do on it. I play via Origin, have all expansions, no mods/CC, no future download needs, and I don’t need the online features (gallery/social).
I moved into a new apartment and am trying to avoid purchasing internet/WiFi. At my old home, I usually played connected (sometimes offline). Since Sims has an offline mode, I assumed I could play with no internet, but now that I have moved and set up my computer, Origin will not even load my games. I have been told that each time I turn my computer on, I will have to connect Origin and Sims to the internet before I am able to go into offline mode. Is this true; am I going to have to say goodbye to Sims?
I am incredibly technically illiterate, so forgive my shortcomings. I love to play, but as far as setting it up, I usually need someone to do it for me. I am laughably bad with computers. Now that my tech friend is gone, I have no clue where to go for help. Thank you so much to anyone who can help, because I’m actually pretty heartbroken without my only stress-reducing hobby to come home to.
