Another thing for folks to try is a clean folder game restore.
Back up your saves and Tray folders, and also Options.ini file so you don't have to reset all your game options.
Rename your The Sims 4 folder in Documents/Electronic Arts to something different, like Old Sims 4.
Start your game; it'll generate a brand new Sims 4 folder. Exit directly from the main menu.
Copy your backed up saves and Tray folders and Options.ini file to the new The Sims 4 folder. (You might need to delete the existing ones generated by the new folder, just to be on the safe side.)
Start your game again -- you should see your existing saves available under Load Game, and your Library contents on your tab in the Gallery.
I actually did this before I installed the patch and I've had no problems, so I wonder if this could be useful for some folks.
