We are going to all have to all move to the EA App soon access our EA games including the various Sims games. Link above is information on it including a link to download it. Am I the only one to be concerned? My experience with EA is a bug feast regardless of the game. But otherwise I am indifferent. What is everyone else's thoughts?

I would really want to know what it means to someone (like me) who play the game offline and don't want to update. As OP pointed out: Do we have to move to another platform?

By end of year it will be a requirement to switch to the EA app. But if you never upgrade or buy new content who knows? I did so today. It is annoying. My sister-in-law and I share an account. Every time she plays it logs me out of the app. I don't know if offline play is possible once you switch. If not I will be leaving this game for good and all EA games.

OK tested and it doesn't boot you from the game just the app. Guess I worried about nothing. Logging in each time I play will be annoying though.

The EA App wouldn't work for me. So I play my sims 3 through Steam

I really hope this won't be an issue because I refuse to move and have my game mandatory updated with random stuff messing with my game and/or I don't want and/or don't need.

I have been using the EA App now for almost three months now and you have the option to do Automatic updates. I choose to have automatic updates because I need to have my game up to date because I am on the Challange Board Team. You have the option to manually update or to do the auto updates.
