How do I play the Sims 4 offline with the EA app?

I don’t think the EA game developers or representatives check these forum questions. It is now September 2024, and I am having the same exact issue. My WiFi is trash and unreliable so I can’t even update this game (for the second time in 2 months).
This thread was created nearly 2 years ago. 😑 And now Origin app is defunct so it’s not even a fallback option anymore.

Today my EA.app decide to not start... Internet is OK but not this app, and is not the first time.

Sometimes i need to reinstall, sometimes i need to wait a day...  other time i need to unistall, clear and reinstall (last time 2 hous of work!), so I can't play when i want...

So I've decided that I'll never buy anoter EA game after many years, my first EA game was "Skate or Die!" on Commodore 64 in 1988, long long time ago.

Now i've passed 50, so i can't wait a "perfect EA app" for play... is 2 years passed and the app i getting more worse, probably it wil be perfect at my 100 birthday!

EA needs to make it possible for people to play the sims 4 without an internet connection and without having to put their app in "offline mode" which you can't even activate unless you are online which kind of defeats the purpose of going offline...
