Sims 4 Won't Even Update

Title says it all. It keeps going between percentages while never actually updating before freezing my PC after awhile. The only thing I've been able to do is reboot my computer since the app just freezes it randomly. It's like the EA app is somehow more broken than it was before. I don't have any mods or CC installed - haven't gotten the new expansion either. Seems like the game is unplayable for just about everyone somehow.
