Update removed connection to saved games

I opened Sims 4 this afternoon, to find that all my packs and kits have loaded, as if I'd just bought them.  They were purchased years ago, so why this has happened I don't know.  I still have my saved file on my PC, but the game isn't connecting through EA/Origin.

So, do I start playing new games and start from scratch on everything... including clearing/demolishing, new buildings and houses I hadn't yet completed and not uploaded to the gallery, new characters that I'd created in CAS?  Or is this going to be corrected by EA ASAP?
