How to open sims without login in to origin

[SexytriniBaby]

I want to be able to open my SIMS game without having to login in to origin or connect to the internet. How can this be done>

@SexytriniBaby  It's not possible, sorry.  You can in fact play without an internet connection, as long as you've signed into Origin recently enough.  But you do have to login to Origin before the game will launch.

If you're having trouble opening Origin first, try launching the game directly from its shortcut instead.  You'll be asked to sign into Origin, but as soon as you do (even while offline), TS4 will open.  But again, you need to have signed into Origin while online recently in order for Origin to accept the login.

thank you for your help. I just think its unfair when you purchase a game that you have to or can only play it through Origin especially when the option to purchase the disk is no longer available. My internet connection is hit and miss so not depending on wifi is a must.

@SexytriniBaby Actually U can , you just need to turn origin to offline mode then you will able to playing it even if U dont have connection later or after restarting the pc and U dont have connection !

I know it has been like 2 years, but maybe others are still looking for a solution.

You have to see where you installed your game.

For example mine was installed on my D drive. So I go to D - sims 4 - the Sims 4 - game - bin. There you have a file named TS4_x64, if you click it, your game opens 😉
