Using my web browser (*not* the Sims 3 site link), I went to Origin's site and made sure I had an Origin ID. Then I went back to the Sims 3 site and logged in with my old info.
What do you mean by this? My mother is trying to get to her account and has the "Origin" crap appearing telling her she can't, but I told her to wait.
On another note, if we do not have origin installed, but have the account, does this do anything to us game wise?
jezzer:
Nah, you're fine. You can't patch with the launcher unless Origin is installed, that's all. As long as you have an EA/Origin account, that's all you need. You can use the MTS patching tool to download patches and not have to install EA's clumsy spyware on your computer.

Good to know, my mum literally read through the entire Terms of Services and got to the bit where it said "By using Origin you forfeit your legal rights to privacy on your computer" and went "NOPE NOPE NOPE".
Menaceman:
Okay, I DO NOT have Origin installed on my machine yet the launcher has NO issues downloading and installing patches.
I also have no recollection of ever creating an Origin account yet have not been asked to do so in order to continue using the site.
Would this have anything to do with me being in the UK?
jezzer:
I'm just going by the information EA is giving us. It is entirely possible -- and likely -- that they are not actually implementing these things the way they say they are. Or they could be telling us about it first and springing it on us later. It's not like them to warn us like that, though.
