Playing offline is impossible

I was going to wait until I got Cottage Living before updating the patch. That’s just not possible. Once again I’ve had to go online.
Tonight I was playing my game, it was laggy. My Sim just stayed where they were. This happens only when I’ve played offline for a week. It’s like I have to log in nearly everyday. Tonight it said my password had expired. 🤔🤷🏼♂️.
There’s no option on Sims 4 to ‘play and update later’. Once Origin is sorted, I’ve had to patch Sims 4 if I want to play it again. 😩😩😩.
Is there a timer that knows how long you’re offline?
My antivirus tells me the number of days I have been offline.
I really didn’t want to update now as it’s another big patch including the calendar I didn’t ask for. 😩😩😩.
Sorry for ranting it’s just so annoying when I lose an evening’s play because of technical issues. 😭😭😭😭. I use the Sims to distract and it’s difficult when I can’t.
Please could we have the ability to play offline indefinitely and just update when desired! 🙏🙏🙏

As for your game slowdowns, perhaps your computer could use a fresh restart? Sometimes, that works wonders.
Good luck.
I do launch TS4 as I thought you had be online then select offline. Right I’ll make a note not to do that! 👍.
Once I updated everything is back up and running.
Meltdown 42 managed! 🤦🏼♂️😂.
Unplugging the cable fills me with dread. No Internet?! 😱😂
I'm glad that you're up and running.
I learned something over the years: when it comes to digital media, I'm always logged on. For example, Steam is always running in the background on my PC. That way, if I lose internet service, I still have access to the software that I paid for. I also don't save anything to the "cloud". If I can't download something to my drives in its entirety, I'm not interested.
I prefer the good old days of physical media. Can you tell?
Only when playing that particular TS4 installation or TS2 UC. For me the internet is only a tool for use when needed.
Yes, and am the same way. I even prefer real books over e-books
