New here and a question ob SH 5

Hi all,
I have been dropping in here for years to read the forum and now that I am fully retired thought I would finally register.

I recently picked up a new laptop with plenty of horsepower and a good graphics card running Windows 8. I installed SH3 with mods and SH4 with mods and they run and look great. I have been thinking about pulling the trigger and getting SH 5, but I am a bit confused on one thing. I read that one had to always be online to play...that stopped me cold, but I recently read a few post that have said ubisoft as relaxed that requirement....can someone tell me what "relaxed" means.

I don't have a problem going online to activate the sim, but would prefer to be able to play offline....hoping this is the case. On a side note, I broke out my old Apple IIc (never got rid of it) and booted up Gato....amazing how much subsims have advanced since then!

Thanks Kelly621
