internal server error with origin

I'm just glad I accidentally some time ago, created a short cut for Sims 4. I couldn't get to in in Origin, yesterday. So, I used the shortcut and I was in. Yay! I hope this isn't a stepping stone to force all of us into using their Beta. I went ahead when they first offered it up, but I reported back to them I could find no way to repair the game on the Beta and the hour count for how long we've played was gone. I hope I wasn't the only one with this complaint so that they would take it under advisement.
