@Miss_Tinkleton  Please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Sims 4 and the EA App.  Start with Sims 4:

  • Put aside your Sims 4 folder in Documents\Electronic Arts and rename it to something that doesn't include the words "Sims 4."
  • Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
  • Launch Revo, select Sims 4 from the list, and click Uninstall.
  • Once the game is uninstalled, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
  • Review the list, in case there's something you want to save; otherwise, click Select All, and then Delete.
  • Close Revo, and restart your computer.

Uninstall the EA App the same way.  I don't have instructions for it at the moment, but it should be straightforward.

Restart your computer, install the EA App, and download Sims 4 from there.  Don't involve Steam at all.

Additionally, if you have the Sims 4 CAS Demo installed, please rename its folder before reinstalling Sims 4.  The CAS Demo would likely be here:
