Game not functioning since new update

So EA practically forced me to get the update, since NONE of the 'play offline' features work 100% of the time. Just for the update to totally break my game. Why in the world did I pay my good money for something that I actively can not play anymore? 

WHY WOULD YOU FORCE ME TO GET AN UPDATE THAT WOULD BREAK MY GAME? LET US PLAY OFFLINE!!!!!

I updated the new Sims 4 update last night on my PS5, and the game is unplayable now. To start the game up it takes forever to load. Once in game my cursor shows for about 15 seconds then it disappears,making it impossible to select anything from that point on. I can’t open CAS as the screen just remains black and never loads. I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t use any mods or CC so yeah…

My game has crashed multiple times too after I installed the update. I can't click on anything. Can't even save my game or exit properly. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Same as for everyone, I cannot open many options for each sim, cannot even save and close the game...

Same problem. Tried yesterday and today. Can play normally for 5 minutes before everything freezes

My game totally broke after yesterdays update. It freezes after a minute, removes stuff from my inventory etc etc. Tried to restart the game a couple of times only to realize a lot of people experience the same issue. The game is unplayable. 

This has happened to me aswell. All of my icons have been switched and mean different things. There is this weird screen when i open up a relationship. Also i had a 3 hour game that had randomly closed and did not save. I am so dissapointed.

Same thing happening to me. Was playing last night and the game was fine. Saw the update this morning then launched my game. Works for maybe 1 minute then crashes.  Issues listed below: 

• Simology panel for kid, glitching (character values going up and down) 
• Cannot exit build mode to go back into live mode
• Cannot open the menu to save or quit
• hard shut down and relaunching the game > issues still persist

This is ridiculous and I hope no one gives Project money grab- I mean "Rene" a dime. They need to focus on fixing this game FIRST. Side note: Those of us who paid full price for base game deserve a refund. The game is hardly playable over the past 10 years its been out, and then there are ps2 games that still run as if they came out yesterday. 

Fix this ASAP. 

Since the last patch (that was supposed to fix a bunch of bugs…) the whole game is broken. I can’t save or exit, the teen/child panel is broken. I don’t even play with cc or mods. I really hope it will be fixed by tmrw, I preordered the new pack and it would suck if I wouldn’t even be able to play with it

I have the same issue luckily i backed up my saves and everything I don’t have mods or CC I’m on pc I go ito sims panel and it all messed up cat scroll down or save my game it gets stuck In Build mode
