I have given up trying to get this game to work

I tried again today to play and I got the white screen crash after 10 minutes of playing. Twice. I am at the point where I give up and refuse to play again until EA at least attempts to fix the game. No gameplay mods at all anymore. Not one. I made sure of it. I only have cc clothes and furniture left that I can't live without and the game still runs like shit. Repaired, reinstalled, reset, etc etc. I have tried everything suggested to no avail.

I have been playing the sims 4 since 2015 and have NEVER had an issue this bad before. My IRL dog passed away and I can still see him in the sims which was my main love for playing but at this point I genuinely do not have the time or energy for this game anymore. I want to enjoy this game and love it but I don't want trying to keep up with forced updates to be like a full time job and this entire thing is no longer enjoyable it continues to get worse and worse. I very rarely get free time for sims and when I do, most of it is spent trying to fix the game and bypass the countless bugs and glitches rather than playing the damn game itself. This isn't even to comment on the actual gameplay itself and how shallow it is, because now I cannot play it at all.

The community's toxic positivity is genuinely infuriating and I have never came across a community so deluded and aggressive to any constructive criticism which is immediately shut down as you wanting a working product you have (in theory lmao) paid for. You're just being a "negative bully haters". This is supposed to be a product. We are supposed to be paying customers and the fans finger wagging us to be grateful have the energy of a kindergarten teacher telling us to stop being a meanie and eat our veggies. It's so weird. The gaslighting levels are insane and it's really not an enjoyable community to be in, it feels cult-like. As a player for a decade, the weird sunshine and rainbows attitude didn't used to be this bad, but then again neither were the bugs and glitches for this overpriced dumpster fire.

I'm exhausted and done. I just want a playable and enjoyable game.
