  • (update: i re-downloaded origin 19th Jan bc of the EA apps slow download speeds and the kits not installing correctly) the origin client might stop working some time in the new year so I switched to the EA app to show you what happens when you do. hopefully yours will go as smooth as this and we can all start 2023 off with all our games installed

    My biggest issue with the EA app (and I haven’t even noticed until a month ago): Create a World for the Sims 3 has stopped working. If you try to edit your world in game it just starts the Sims 3 per usual.
    That’s sad and I truly believe EA should work on making things compatible, even when switching the app. I never used CAW a lot, but really wanted to recently, and I just couldn’t edit any of the lots because of the issue above.

    I was forced to use the EA app instead of origin a few weeks ago - I literally wasn't able to use origin because they added an overlay linking to the EA app which you couldn't get rid off, not even when restarting.
    few months ago, I already installed the EA app and had the most annoying issues with it - sometimes the app claimed I didn't own the sims 4 and sometimes it started without all the packs I actually own. I only found out that packs were missing when I was in CAS and thought "why do I have so little choice? I thought I had more stuff??" - so I had to restart the game and the app (twice) to have it work out. there's no way to see whether the game starts with all of tour apps unless you are actually in a save file or in CAS 🙃
    so I searched the internet to somehow find a download link for origin again (it gets uninstalled automatically when you install the EA app) which wasn't easy. I managed to find it, but as I already said, I wasn't able to use it for long until I got forced to switch again (and there's no way back now). phew.

    unfortunately reading replies here and twitter, it really does seem to be a lucky dip at the minute of how the EA App is gonna work for people. I’ve seen plenty of people say they couldn’t access their games on it or their store content was wiped, which was fixed by reinstalling Origin. Whilst others prefer the EA App and it runs smoother than Origin ever did for them. I will say, my EA App transition was fine as seen in this video and has been fine since but it loads the game up a lot slower than Origin. But I can’t say that everyone’s gonna be as lucky as me
    If I were you, I would maybe hold off if you aren’t having issues with Origin, it’s still working as normal and you’re more confident with it. Seems that support isn’t caught up with all the issues that can be brought around with the EA App yet so I would personally stick with Origin until you cant. Also unfortunately EA haven’t been v forthcoming or transparent with information on the big switch since “in the new year” so there’s still no confirmed date.
    Hope this helps and sorry that I can’t be more clear with info bc 1. there isn’t any and 2. everything still seems to be up in the air with how it’s going to install or not
    EDIT: so the EA app took 40 minutes to have the new kits added to it and now repairing my game is taking literal hours, when origin used to do it in 20 mins max. you can re-download origin if you’re having issues with the EA app here answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/Downloading-and-installing-Origin-Windows-and-Mac/td-p/11915666/jump-to/first-unread-message and at 0:26 and the end of this video, I have a video linked where I talk more in detail about the issues I faced whilst using the EA App and other have discussed here in the comments

    my biggest issue with the ea app is that there's no wish list on there. and as someone who doesn't have all the packs, that's the first place i check when there are sales, so now i've had to keep track of which dlc i want myself and i lost the origin wish list completely.
    also i haven't tested this in a hot minute but when i was using the ea app a month-ish ago, it kept logging me out if i had network issues - so i kept having to input my username and password every time which was a headache

    I personally love the EA app over Orgin. I've had it since September, I've had issues twice with the EA app early on when launching it to the point it was suggested to me by EA to uninstall and download again which did fix it, so you might want to keep the installer on hand just in case. I haven't had any issues of late with it. I find it so much easier to find things on the EA app. Sims3 and Sims4 both play better for me with very minimal lagging so now I can play with even more mods

    I personally love the EA app, but have only a few problems with it.
    One tip for anyone that gets some lag; In settings there was an option to not autoplay the video animation that plays behind the game launcher, this made everything run faster instead of just pausing it every time.
    I also hate that it constantly logs me out and even though I have the "remember me" box checked I pretty much have to sign in daily and it doesn't save my password for more than a day.

    I switched a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't by choice - I went in to play Sims 3, via Origin, and it forced me to switch over to the APP.
    I only use it for Sims 3 - but after the change, my main "save game" seemed to be corrupted and wouldn't load.
    Also, some of the things that I had downloaded into the game (including paid for stuff) seemed to be missing from the APP version of the game.
    Although I managed to find some of the things, when I tried to re-apply them to the game, they still didn't seem to work, and for a whole "set" of things I had to re-buy from the Sims 3 online store, they still didn't seem to be there after re-installing them.

    I downloaded the EA app back when Beta was first announced. I don't like it as much as Origin, I still use Origin to run my game most of the time. When I double click on the desktop icon for Sims 4 it randomly picks one of the launchers, haha. Whenever I redeem codes I've used Origin as well so not sure how that works on the EA app yet. It was buggy at first but doesn't seem to have as many issues now. The biggest thing I've noticed is that some packs that I own I still have the option to buy, and they are still working in my game, so not sure what that's about. Like the launcher doesn't think I own them but the game recognizes them when I play, if that makes sense.

    Not a huge fan on the new EA app, i had updated it by accident thinking it was just an update for origin. There's so many complications, especially when it comes to play TS4 S4MP since you can't share an account (i have almost all packs while my spouse only has base) unless it's the origin or EA app. However in my experience, TS4 is apparently managed by steam on the EA app which makes it all the more frustrating. So far i haven't found a fix to only be able to download the game by itself on EA app without the use of steam. I still have an old exe file of origin so i witched back to it in a heartbeat.

    After switching to the EA App, some games stopped running. In support, they do not try to help or solve the problem, but simply give links to users with a similar problem and somehow solved it. And it doesn't seem like they care about it and they'll sort it out. I switched back to Origin by disabling the annoying platform change suggestion. And I don't regret it. Everything works great.
