Losing the will.....

Like many others, my game hasn't worked since the update. The update to the update didn't work either.

I've repaired the game, done the EA app recovery, tried all CC removed, tried adding it all back, I've checked all my mods are up-to-date, reinstalled the game and relentlessly searched the internet for some information, all resulting in NOTHING.

I can click on the game icon, I get the loading screen with the plum bob, then I get the dreaded black screen with the music is playing.

I cannot remember the date of the first update that did this, but it has been far too long with no update or solution. Why is there a lack of communication on this? You cannot stick your fingers in your cyber ears and just ignore all loyal players. I paid for a game, I paid for multiple add-ons and EA did something to screw that up, so its down to EA to hurry up and fix it, or at least have some communication with the loyal players that have just been dumped on. I'd be happy with an update that undoes the previous update, because I don't even want this overpriced and pointless marketplace.

....And yea I'm ranting here, but that's because error reports, installing, uninstalling, repairing, recovering, attempts to contact/speak to anyone, or even track down some useful information online is utterly impossible. I'd even be happy with a message saying "sorry its slow, but we are on it" rather than all of us being ignored.

Someone sort it out. You are going to lose more than you planned to gain.
