how to Play The Sims 4 Offline?

[WhiteRain1989]

I was told by EA before I bought The Sims 4 that I could play it offline as I don't have Internet access a lot of the time. But when I tried it came up ''log in to Origin'' and when I hit ''X'' (as I obviously did not have a Internet connection at that time) it canceled the game. Can someone please help me with this, got a really expensive game that I won't be able to play much?

Did you connect online once ?

You have to login into origin, but you can do so in offline mode.

This is not working at all for me!  I know how to check remember me and  "Go offline"  I keep getting the message I must be have computer connection when logging in for first time everytime and then it won't let me in.  It only launches when the computer has an internet connection period.   Is Orgin secretly tracking our activity even when offline mode is chosen?  That seems to be the only logical answer to me. If you must be online to always start the game, this product has been sold falsly.  Can someone help?
