@karenKent As your post is part of this master thread, there's no need to do that.

it's pretty much either off or on, no other options (see screenshot).  I added ea.com to my list of website exceptions but that doesn't help this issue.

        @crinrict yes I did, it was on the list of things you told me to write about what I've done(I actually edited it recently btw in case you wanna check up on it) I think, my dad told me to reinstall the game cause he thought the update download messed up, still doesn't work though

      @TayloQT I'm just reading this post...I have been at a loss since the Nov 10, 2020 update. literally. I've watched old youtube videos, read so many blogs and by accident i came across the Sophos post. It helped and now i'm in playing sims and its working better than ever, really. What other methods have you tried? i wanna help. Sims life is the best life
