Rant about the Sims 4 lately

I'm so sick of having to go through multiple ads for expansion packs and whatnot in order to access the main menu after game launch. Also, why couldn't they keep the "Resume play" button on the right where it's been for a decade? Why are they trying to change a well ingrained habit?? I miss the old days when I would buy a single-player game and did not need freaking Internet to play. It doesn't make any sense.

Edit 1 : I can play offline afterall. I couldn't before, when I was on Origin, but now that I am on the EA Client, it works. And when I do play offline, it skips the ads automatically woohoo!
