This app has completely stolen my joy of playing The Sims.

Every time I have a spark of hope to log on and play some Sims 4, it is expertly dashed by the most horrendous launcher I have ever experienced. As I write this, I have been waiting for over an hour to try and get my game to update. The last three times I have attempted to log on, I have had to troubleshoot the same stuff each time for my updates to install properly. Once it finally decides to actually update, that is another hour long process as well, regardless of how many things I disconnect from my network, close in my background, or the fact that I have a direct connection and fiber internet. Gone are the days of being able to actually update and play the only game I actually care about on this forsaken app, and as I shout into the void I only hope to comfort those who share my pain (as so clearly outlined in multiple other forums here) as it has been made clear that EA does not understand what a mess they really made of things with this.
