EA App EC:10005 - Reocurring

So, I've had The Sims4 installed for years now, right? I have a Windows10 with 64-bit as an operating system, so that's not an issue.

The last few months, EA hasn't been opening or letting me open it. Thus, I cannot play Sims4. Sims was giving me trouble at one point, and so i downloaded it through steam.

Now here I am, complaining, as it's constantly giving me "EC:10005 networks not doing network thing. try again". Earlier today, I managed to get the Sims 4 open. I played for a while, then logged off to do Yard Work. When I came back, I tried to log back in, and it gave me this issue again.

And before anyone tells me that this is my own Network problem... I have restarted my router, restarted my PC, adjusted the router, and unplugged my house's home phone not just from our router, but also overall. There's only an X-box also using internet at this point, and that's not an issue as it was being played on while I played The Sims 4 earlier. I've tried running ONLY EA, and it still gives me EC:10005. And when I try to just open TS4 from my home screen, it says "preparing game" and then tells me that the servers took too long and were "not doing server things".

Any help or advice?

    I saw someone post about removing the McAfee app, I gave it a try today and can finally get past the error pop up to play. Not ideal though. Thought I'd post in case it helps others.
