Game not functioning since new update

Loading screen is taking much longer than usual. Game freezes or lags. Simology/skill etc Panels not working, also save or build mode panels not working. I have not had any mods in the game since the update. I've reset the game, tried repairing, tried new saved file, checked my own laptop for viruses etc. Problem is not with me. I made a backup save file and are now reinstalling the Sims. Will see if it helps. But installing takes sooo long and really frustrating if you are a working student and don't have much time to play.🥲
