Connie: That's silly. Everyone knows that we have free will. All these theories that we are in a simulation called "The Sims 4". All so silly! I can't believe people actually believe that. Wait, why am I in the kitchen again? Do you think we're in a simulation?

Granted, but you can never stop moving and working which tires you out so much you end up asking for a wish repeal. I wish I could eat without gaining weight.
I live in Europe (EU territory) yet I don't experience this. Are you 100% sure this is EA's fault? Have you tried repairing, clearing cache, testing your mods? If not, then try those things. But, if you have tried with no success, try posting the issue here: https://help.ea.com/the-sims/the-sims-4/
Try clearing your cache files and repairing the game. If that doesn't work, remove your mods file (if you have any) and test your script mods individually, or if you have alot of them put half of your mods in then launch the game to see if the issue still occurs. If so, split that in half and restart and so on. If not try…
Have you got the codes for all your expansions? If so I'm pretty sure you can just use them to install the packs. You open origin, obviously, and then you click 'origin' in the top left corner. Click 'redeem product code' type in the code and you should be good to go.
