Re: The EA app doesn't launch the Sims 4 game.

Hi there @tuscarican,

Let's try clearing the cache in the EA app to resolve this error message and get your game library loaded for you again. 

If this doesn't resolve the issue, please attach a screenshot to your post of what you're seeing when you load into the app.

    Did as instructed with clearing the cache and I still get this message every time I click my desktop sims 4 to open. I don't have an option in my EA app to select ANY of my games.. So what else can solve this problem?

    I went into my apps and am trying to repair the app. I'm thinking there is a known issue they are not being transparent about so I guess we're SOL.

    Still, if I pay for* a game, I should not HAVE to use their server to play it; I should have the option to play it offline and I hate that we don't. They need to get their stuff together....

    EDIT: It would not allow me to repair. Just said "Error" and showed a continue button  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So I guess go into your app and make a report, then we can ask for updated using the report ID that is issued :P

    I gave up trying to troubleshoot and uninstalled the sims 4 and then I uninstalled the EA app through my control panel. When I reinstalled the EA app, the option appeared to download the sims and my add-ons, which I'm currently waiting to complete. It's the most progress I've seen in 4 days; so I'm hopeful. Thank you for the swift response.
