I thought I read somewhere you do not necessarily need the internet. But when I tried starting up without connection, it wanted a DVD (which I don’t have).
Does anyone know if it’s even possible to play offline (other than disconnect from live traffic and not use multiplayer)?
Okay, thanks. I thought as much. I must say that in these days - at least for the well-connected - having no internet (apart from short outages) is also quite rare I suppose.
In my experience you only get the connection warning once the sim is running…and you cannot run the sim without logging on…which you cannot do without the internet.
No, you are correct. The sim cannot be started on a PC if there is NO Internet connection.
I powered down, unplugged from the internet, powered up, and tried to start the sim.
It asks for a DISK or Quit .
