@Yventer Are you saying you uninstalled Sims 4 as well as the EA App? If so, you should have received the updated version of Sims 4 when reinstalling, with no need to update.
If you didn't uninstall Sims 4 and have reasonably-fast internet, that's worth trying next. Uninstall the EA App at the same time as well, but clear its cache first, as some hidden files aren't removed during a standard uninstall.

If your internet is slow enough to make that a hassle, try disabling your antivirus as well as your VPN, if you use one. Clear the App's cache and repair the game, which might fix the update issue anyway.
@puzzlezaddict Yes, I uninstalled sims, but was finally able to get it reinstalled when I changed the download location from my external drive to my one drive.
@Yventer If the location is truly within OneDrive, for example this:
C:\Users\your username\OneDrive\etc.
then I'd highly recommend installing it elsewhere. OneDrive syncing can cause all kinds of problems, and you really don't want the next update blocked because OneDrive is getting in the way. If the default location of C:\Program Files\EA Games doesn't work for you, it's fine to create a new folder on C and install Sims 4 into that.
