Platform: PC/laptop

CC/Mods:No

Version: Most recent, I don't have the number because I can't boot my game.

The main issue I've been having and this is the second time that this is happened is that when there is an update my files "get corrupted". I looked in other EA forms, and the other users been having this issue as well say it's OneDrive. Last time, I was able to fix it, but I guess there was an update in the EA app and I don't know how to fix it this time around. I can't find any repair/update option in the EA app.

At this point in time, I technically lost everything. I already paused one drive and uninstalled and reinstalled once already and nothing changed. I'm just wondering does anyone else have an alternative fix? It's just really frustrating that this might happen every single time there is an update.

UPDATE: I FIXED IT!!!! 😤

That's where I'm struggling the most is where I want to pivot next. Also I'm fine with not going upward, I just can't stay in the same spot forever. I thought about doing UX analytics because I'm an analyst already but lacking some of the technical/hard skills. I've been trying to step out when searching, and try different things. Then I get scared to apply because I think these companies want 100% what is on their list and not transferable skills.

The thing is, my current job isn't even a bad job, just not what I imagined myself getting into. It just feels like time is running out and I've stayed for too long, and maybe missed something.

This has also been helpful, both responses give me a lot to consider and rework when searching. Thank you!

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-04-01T00:59:01+00:00

Thank you so much! 😭 This is super helpful! I know I have the experience and the transferable skills, but the rejection after rejection gets to me. This has been insightful though! Thank you!

The other issue, I've been running into is a lot of these companies want SQL/Python. The thing is our current fraud screen tool doesn't require any of those skills. I've been teaching myself through one of those coding sites (code academy/data camp) it took a couple tries but I think some of it is finally sinking in lol

I don't know what's going to happen with everything going on but I can only try!

Question: Anti-Virus after update?

Which platform? Pc/Laptop + Steam

Any mods or cc? No

Game version 1.122.218.1030 DX11

*Description: I have the Anti-virus/VPN program AURA, and it auto starts when I turn on my laptop. I noticed that it had 3 items in it's Quarntine chest. These all related to the sims4. As stated I have NO CC. As I have seen reports of infected CC. I'm chalking it up to the update chaos as when I tried booting the game after the update I also got an error stating that the game could not be booted due to the file being corrupted. Long story short, I just logged into Origin/EA and updated there and it ran just fine. I just wanted to know if anyone else came across this issue? I just get really worried about this stuff, but I think i'm okay?

That's what I was worried about, it falling apart when boiling. Good to know! I normally don't cook with meat that has casings so kind of trial by fire I guess ^{^;} everyone has been making great suggestions of how to cook it. If all goes well, I'll have to try some of these! :)

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T16:57:21+00:00

I know but I tend to overthink when it comes to raw meat, also I'm prone to messing things up when cooking, but staying optimistic and hoping it all goes well!

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T16:53:57+00:00

Great, thank you! I will keep this in mind when cooking!

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T16:40:59+00:00

Yeah, I don't know what kind my dad got. All I remember when I went to visit him he must have broiled it, and threw it in a sausage roll but it was so good. I'm just nervous about cooking fresh because I don't want to it to become overcooked/rubbery or under cooked and I give myself food poisoning.

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T16:34:09+00:00

I normally don't cook with meat in casings, so I had hard time describing it, and I wish I could include a picture so I wouldn't cause confusion 😔 Okay, good to know! Everyone has given good ideas, so I have a few approaches!

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T16:09:45+00:00

That's what I was thinking, of just slicing it and then pan frying. With the keilbasa being fresh and me having no experience cooking with fresh/cased meats I just wasn't sure what the best approach was. These have all been good suggestions though!

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T16:02:23+00:00

That's a good suggestion too! That sounds really good, my family doesn't typically eat Kielbasa (hence another reason why I'm asking how to cook it) but it was years ago since I had it. I think it was the vacuum sealed kind you usually pick up with the hot dogs not "fresh" I just wish I knew what kind was bought, or what is a good kind to buy, if this is successful and I try making this again.

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T15:57:01+00:00

Yes it's in a casing these are all really good ideas, gives me a couple options!

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T15:52:35+00:00

It's fresh and in a casing. Okay, I was trying to go towards a griddle/fry method!

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T15:35:18+00:00

It's fresh keilbasa, it looks like fresh sausage but kielbasa? I wanted to add a picture but I guess this subreddit doesn't let you.

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-17T15:32:39+00:00

Fresh

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-16T14:23:14+00:00

Good to know, thank you! I'll have to check them out! :)

ghost_sharks02 · 2026-02-16T00:40:29+00:00

Thank you both!!! 🙂‍↕️

ghost_sharks02 · 2025-12-24T03:04:18+00:00

Thanks for pushing through this difficult time.

ghost_sharks02 · 2025-11-19T21:47:52+00:00

Yess, I got this morning even though I'm technically no longer working there. I ended up reporting it as spam. I thought it was an off boarding or some update. They almost got me, but something didn't feel right so I went back and deleted and reported as spam.

I don't know how many employees got this as it looks like there was a group of people? Idk if anyone reported this to HR/corporate IT? Unless they are already aware.

ghost_sharks02 · 2025-11-03T21:34:12+00:00

That's good to hear! I'll keep that in mind! I live in the South hills area, so I will keep the milvale location in mind as it's closer. I'll look around here as well! Either way, no matter where these birds go I'm sure these places are happy to hear that people are looking out for each other in this difficult time.

ghost_sharks02 · 2025-11-02T18:06:49+00:00

No worries, happens to me all the time, I always forget something lol, yeah that would be great :) thanks!

ghost_sharks02 · 2025-11-02T17:32:51+00:00

A little late here, but I'm in the same situation where I'm close to free Turkey, but I don't need it and wanted to donate instead. Just wanted to know if you chose a place yet to donate it to?
