Play Sims 4 Without Downloading

You can't: you have to register with Origin as part of the initial game install. After that, Origin will be started whenever you start Sims 4, but you can be offline.

I have already installed sims 4 with origin and played for a while then exited, now when I try to click on sims 4 icon to play it wants me signed into origin and it won't go online, what is going on.
The game states you only need Internet to install it and register it. Does anyone know how to play when signing into origin is not an option? For example when you are not in an area with Internet.
I don't know, but I have same problem, game says I am not connected to the internet. and then game freezes and I have to force shut down my computer to get to to work again. I am getting very frustrated.
Cant you play it from origin while offline on origin?
I have the same problem here too. :( Still trying to find out how to play the game without having to use the Internet and then sign in Origin and then start the game.

You have to use Origin but you can sign into origin offline.
in offline you must enter your ID and your password
When Origin comes up I just put in my ID and password, sign in, click on play offline up in the left hand corner under Origin options, then I double click the Sims 4 icon and I am off line playing the game. I am not sure if there is a way to bypass Origin all together.
Also I have had several instances where I was off line and was still able to play the game. So, I am not sure why you can't. It seems it signs me in and out depending if I used the online gallery or not.
Usually I just hit the Sims 4 icon on my desk top, sign into origin and bam it starts the game.

Are we really offline if we have to sign it or is it like being invisible? Once offline can you close Origin? I really don't want Origin if I get the disk...
I removed Origin and can still play TS2 which was downloaded from Origin. I just want to do the same thing with TS4 or any other new EA game.
Would love this too because my kid doesn't need to be online playing. Which also means she and I can't play at the same time, which then means she isn't going to play and then that turns into her pestering me while I'm playing.
Buy a second copy you say....NO.
Over the past 13 yrs I've bought every Sim game and NEVER had to buy a second copy so a kid can play at the same time as me.
Not doing it now.

You do not buy the game - what you pay for is the license to use the software. If you don't like the license - don't buy the software. Software licensing has been around for some time (Windows operating system for one). Try installing Windows on several computers and see what happens (the Microsoft police is going to want to talk to you). Licensing enforcement has gotten tougher in recent years as distributors try to control piracy. As a software author I agree there needs to be some control or licensing. What and how restrictive that is remains to be seen. It has been proven SecuROM is not the answer. Like it or not I feel there will be more online licensing control as we move to a pay to play world (which I feel is coming faster then you think). As companies use the cloud more and more (don't put your nude selfies on the cloud) I see a pay to play possible. I have written many software routines (no charge) and I am happy to see some one else has found my software useful. Most plastic software (packaged purchased software) has a high cost to develop and the creators deserve a return on their investment. The problem is games like TS3 that were pirated BEFORE release. John Carmack proved it can be done by releasing the game Doom through it's development stage and then licensing the Doom engine to other game developers. As we move to a virtual software distribution system (physical media will slowly disappear) a method needs to be developed to control the licensing (users and/or computers) rather then the software itself. I use a flight sim that requires a special usb cable to use. The problem is if you loose or damage that usb cable you can not buy another (it can not be purchased separately) - you have to repurchase the software. I would also like to see drm free software but I don't see a present acceptable solution for seller and user.

With Windows you get a small number of times you can use the same product code.
Spore another EA game allowed you to use the code 5x for different computers.

With Windows operating system you can get by using the code a couple of times (or over a period of time like 6 months) but Microsoft uses a different drm then game distributors. I believe Windows codes fall off their system after time where as games use SecuROM for drm and the number of concurrent activations (usually 5) can be adjusted by the distributor. SecuROM (like Windows activation) uses the mac address (mostly as well as other data) of the ethernet port of the motherboard to id the computer. I read TS4 is drm free(?) and activation through Origin to prove ownership to control piracy. You can only be logged into Origin from one computer at a time. Once the code is registered in an Origin that code can not be used in another Origin account thus controlling activations (registrations).

I understand they want to control piracy, but this is still absolutely ridiculous. Only allowing the game to be played on ONE account? I have a physical copy, I should be able to use it no matter what account I'm logged into. The disk is in the computer! Also, previous games allowed the game to be linked to multiple accounts, why not this one? This isn't combatting piracy, it's forcing families to buy multiple copies so EA can milk more money out of them. This is why nobody likes EA, and why I personally will never buy another EA product again unless they change their money-hungry ways.
When you sign in to Origin in offline mode, you are not invisible, you are indeed offline, so origin wouldn't be online, if it works the same way STEAM does anyway. with STEAM if you are in offline mode, you don't get any of the web plum or friends list in offline mode and if you want to go online you have to restart steam and go to online mode. But it still lets you play your STEAM games.
I assume Origin would work the same way.
My friend and I share my origin account. We are both able to play the Sims 4 at the same time, on different computers. Under game options on the actual game there is a play online option that is defaulted ticked. I unticked that, and I sign in on origin offline. My friend has done the same thing.
