Question about cloneing a drive with Sims 4 installed (Solved)

[MrsFlynn]

As far as we're aware we have two options.

1. Take your computer offline before launching the game. Be aware you will need to login with your username and password.  - You'll know you're offline if you have no network access. 
You'll have an image like this: on your start bar.

2. Launch Origin, go into the Origin Menu and select Go Offline. It will say offline mode in the upper right corner. -- Up by the minimize window button.

I am not fully sure about the gameplay questions.  You may want to post them in Gameplay Help.

I am not sure why one computer seems to behave differently than the other. That is something that would be best asked over at Answers.ea.com

As they maybe able to help troubleshoot the issue better. All we can do is share our experience we've had with the Origin software.

Well, it seems like my topic was marked as Spam (!) But after explaining that my question were honest the thread is out on EA answers. Link to thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/I-had-enough-I-want-the-control-over-my-game-back/td-p/11587773 Only one answer so far and it was more of a request to update the game.

Yes, go offline completely would be one solution. Maybe I should check if there is a setting in the antivirus softwear or the firewall to disable the internet acces for the Origin client.
