Brief description of the issue:
Had to uninstall the sim a week ago, but kept my sim files in a separate location so those were retained. Attempted to reinstall sim and run. Sim installed fine from the MS Store, launched and pointed it to my sim files folder. Sim found folder and did a small update (which I expected). Sim then started loading the game. Blue bar started at around 50% and very very slowly increased to 100%. Nothing occurred past this point. I let it sit overnight untouched in case that would help but no dice. I uninstalled the sim through the MS Store, reinstalled, and then attempted to allow it to install the entire sim to the appdata folder. Sim proceeded to get āstuckā at 409/508. The counter stopped functioning but the sim was still clearly downloading and unpacking data. Once the download bar finished, nothing occurred. I let the sim sit once again with no change.
Windows is relatively clean and everything that can be updated is updated.
