After what happened in June and the way EA broke the game for a lot of CC and most notably for the HQ Mod by changing Default CAS Parts: Eyebrows; Eyes and Skin Textures, then I have become wary of immediately accepting game updates when they are released.
My HQ Mod game was down for weeks while I searched for an answer. Finally got it and now I'm fully back up and running.
Last thing I want is another repeat of that so I'm staying offline mode and wait for any announcements and amendments to EA's updates by the likes of Sims 4 Studio (S4S) with their batch fixes etc. Last thing I ever want is a repeat of June. And I don't really care for what bug fixes EA say they're fixing.
I hope you get your game sorted...
