Origin really isn't all that bad, but it does use a lot of resources when it's open in the background.

It's like they have concluded that we can get mods anyway, so why bother designing them? There is evidence that this is true, by making it easier to install mods. In the beginning, Sims was much more friendly but here lately, not so much. I'm really surprised that there is not a competing Sims-ish game out there. I personally emailed them (yes, this was back when email addresses were the only way to contact folks, forms were seldom, if ever, used) and warned them that someday, another browser will come out and even another operating system, that will ruin their dollar signs in their eyes. Users begged pleaded and cried over Microsoft's deaf ears on feature requests and restrictions. I'm reminded about Microsoft and its Internet Explorer. I am not angry with EA necessarily, though by all means they are in-part responsible, but I am angry at the idea that just because there is a popular game, users can be treated however they please. I was very angry when I realized this problem. You really do have to download it to use it legally.

Can you downoad sims 4 without origin
