We are seeing connectivity recovery across all of our titles and https://t.co/FsLr81tLiC. You may experience some delays getting back in and might have to restart your game completely. Thank you for your patience while we worked on this.

ARTICLE UPDATE: It seems that The Sims Mobile is down too, meaning that any EA game that relies on Online Services is currently not functioning.
Many players have just started reporting that their Origin Program reports that it’s in “Offline Mode”. This issue is caused by connectivity problems within the Origin’s Client which has also been confirmed by EA.
During this period players won’t be able to access The Sims 4’s Online Gallery which relies on Origin’s servers. We’ll make sure to update this post as soon as Origin is back up and running!
We’re currently having connectivity problems with our games and https://t.co/FsLr81tLiC. We will post updates here as we receive more info.
