Sims 3 Adventures Egypt

Hi- I recently started playing Sims 3 again after about 3 yrs and am experiencing issues with going into the Ancient Library.  As soon as I enter the house, the game shuts down and returns to the EA app page.  I tried copying the house and household to my folder, bulldozing the house and then replacing it, but that didn't work.  I also deleted the cache files, that didn't work either.  I do not use mods.  Was there an update I missed that fixes these issues??  I didn't have this problem when I used to play, so I don't understand the problem.   I am also having issues with logging into EA.com.  I am not receiving the verification code to my email.  Please advise....
