I will confirm (to a point) what @RJBlain has said.
Repair the game through origin.
First time starting to use a save....use the Load Game instead of the Play button.
Now this is where I differ.
Once in, save your game.
From that point on I have not had to repair before each play, and the "Play" button works as before for the household I am playing. And Load times are about the same as prior to the patch.
Now to see if I can play for the day without crashes with the sound on.....all parts crossed.
