Pop up for Cupid's Corner Won't Close

Hello, why does the Sims 4 include a stupid pop up ad for an EP I have already bought?  I am having a problem even loading a save game after having downloaded and added the new EP Lovestruck to my Sims 4 game. I have also applied the recent hotfix patch. I can't resume a game either, and the reason is because an annoying pop-up ad always appears on the menu screen, and no matter what I do nothing will not let me close it so I can get to the game functions. (Everything is greyed out because of the pop up). I can move the cursor, and the pop up seems to acknowledge the cursor's movement initially, but when I go to click the x on the corner to close it, or if I try to hit escape, the screen freezes and I can do nothing more. I have to force-close the game.  By the way, I have removed all my mods. This happens even without the mods.  I just cannot disable that pop-up and start my favourite save game, or even a new game. 

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC (HP Pavilion)
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur?  Every time I try to load the game
What is your current game version number? 1.108.329.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything up to Lovestruck, except for Journey to Batuu.  All EPs, GPs, SPs, and Kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try loading the game? See if the annoying pop-up ad appears when the menu screen shows up, and then freezes the screen.
What happens when the bug occurs? An annoying pop-up shows up in the middle of the screen after the menu appears. Nothing will close it and then the game freezes. 
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to close any pop-ups that appear, to access the game functions and either Load a save, Resume a save or start a new save. 
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Mods have been completely removed with the new patch.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes, it appeared after I downloaded the Lovestruck EP and the hotfix. It didn't appear on Tuesday when the EP patch came out; I was able to play with no problems then and even had my mods installed at the time.
