    I saw this on twitter someone tried and it worked for them but can't vouch that it will, but if you can get in the app and your library empty, this is what someone did. Okay everyone I know how to fix empty library in ea. Now that The Sims 4 infant update came out ea app i going crazy and my game went missing. You need to find it on search button and press download button. Then it will change to update. i hope it works for u too!

    I am having similar issues with my game
    It was working perfectly fine before the Infants update but now that it's out i can no longer access any of my saves which annoys me because i have been waiting for this update since it was announced and even paused my Legacy family for this and now i can not play

    Edit: Now it's not letting me log back in.
    Now it let me back in-
    My Legacy Family & Story Family are in one Save. Much easier...

    To those who got lucky and got the patch installed:

    did the app work after your refreshed it or did it just suddenly start working?

    Finally! I got it working!

    I don't know whether it's because it got fixed or I refreshed on the Home page.

    But finally, I'm able to download the update.

    Oh my Plumbob it took about 2 hours!

    I should have checked here first as it would've saved me some frustration.

    It wouldn't let me log in at first, but I knew my password was correct. When I was able to log in, it said I had no games in my library. I had to quit and reopen the app a few times and then I was finally able to perform the update.

    So, what I've discovered is that once EA app catches up and tells you that you have games in your inventory, and it says you need to update the game...
    Go offline in the settings, and it will say "Unable to connect to servers", but it will also have the games that you have installed listed underneath.
    If you press the little blue triangle next to that game, the game will start WITHOUT updates!!
    I've just pressed it and my game has started ok :smile:

    I'm having trouble with the app as well. I was hoping to download the patch on my PC first. I have sims 4 on playstation as well but wanted to play on my PC first instead. I have 2 saves I'm very fond of on my playstation. Looks like I may not be updating for a while

    I logged in finally, and like most people found an empty library. But I clicked on the shortcut to TS4 and was able to get into my game. Also my game shows all my DLC, so it's still there. No sign of an update, though. And now EAapp does show that I have TS4, but no other games.

    I had a tiny issue with logging in but it's working now (Thankfully)
    Though i cannot play any of my saves... I have the update but it comes up as an error when i try to continue my newest sim family

    I tried restating my pc
    I tried repairing the game but nothings working and i am getting annoyed!

    I wanted to play my Legacy family with this update but CAN'T because it's not letting me access my saves...
    My Legacy Family & Story Family are in one Save. Much easier...

    There is no little blue triangle unfortunately, it still shows only "update" where the triangle is supposed to be...

    It’s not the app itself, it’s the EA servers. The team are aware of it and are working on a fix.

    In order to get the app to work, I had to reinstall it. Then, all my games showed up again and I was able to update the Sims. However, I just checked and all the DLC I own are missing. Update: I found the DLC. But it is weird because the store gives me the option to buy the packs but the game says I have them all.

    I tried what Monicaelle_ suggested and it thankfully kinda worked but it looks like its not recognizing any of the DLC I own :s ! its so frustrating that this app constantly has issues, especially when the Sims 4 releases a new pack. I actually can't even update the game and its taking a longgg time to load the game pages to play them. This app feels like its still in the beta-testing phase lol

    it took me a couple times. i had to log out and log back in! o

    This is just so frustrating! Like seriously, why can't everything work like it did with Origin?

    Not to mention it's fudging scary when $1000 worth of dlc just disappears without a trace.

    @Aine try going into the EA folder on your start menu then choose the option for updating the app. That worked for me the other day when I had the "disappearing game library" problem.

    If you can login to EAapp (and that's a big if), try clicking on the Sims 4 shortcut on your desktop. But it won't let you play offline unless you're logged in.

    Updating now, it will take long for all modders to catch up with this huge patch anyway.
