Sims 4 refuses to connect to the Gallery

For the past 2 days, my sims 4 has simply been unable to connect to the gallery, as the title says. It brings up the prompt to connect, so i click connect, and then it just brings this image up and it never goes away. I left my pc running all night last night with this, and I gave up when I saw my monitor this morning displaying the same thing.
I use mostly Curseforge for custom content and mods, and I'd initially thought that the CC was the issue, so I'd disabled custom content in settings and restarted the game early on in my attempts, but to no avail. It just won't connect to the gallery. Any solutions that I try to search up are over 4 years old and probably outdated/have different solutions considering they all still mention Origin and not the EA App.
