sims 4 files

@astridou4  I've moved your post to the Sims 4 PC tech section.

Is Sims 4 reading data from OneDrive, or is that where your saves are?  If it's the latter, you can copy your saves to your desktop, disable OneDrive's automatic syncing of Documents, and move the saves to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves.  You can do the same with the contents of Tray as well as any other user data you want to keep.

If this isn't what's happening, please post the full file path to the saves you see.  You can write [username] instead of your username if you want, but leave the rest of the file path intact.

Thank you for moving my post and answering!

So I think that I managed to delete the files that were on One Drive (after copying them of course). I did paused the syncing of the documents and made sure my game files were now in my documents BUT my game still doesn't recognize my saves.. It is as if I had just started the game.

Also all my saves have quite a weird name I think, for example "Slot_00000006.save 1.ver4".

This is still the path of the files...

C:\Users\astri\OneDrive\Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 4\Captures d'écran\

@astridou4  The .verx on the end of a save means it's one of the automatic backups the game creates.  These are really the files from the last five times you saved before the most recent one.  But if you delete the .verx extensions and renumber the saves (so you don't have multiple files with precisely the same name), those saves can be loaded as well.

Your saves need to be in C:\Users\your username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves, or often shortened to This PC\Documents etc.  They can't be read if they're in OneDrive, and they can't be read if they're in your screenshots folder either.  Be sure to make backup copies of your saves before moving them around, preferably on an external drive or USB if you have one, as OneDrive can sometimes interfere when you're trying to remove files.

Ok sorry but I really can't figure out how to suppress the EA file from One Drive without it suppressing it from my computer, at the same time. I really don't know why it does that.I tried to stop the syncing with this particular file but then the file disappears from my computer... Maybe there's a simple way to do it and I'm dumb but.... I need help, sorry ^^

Even when I move the file to the right place it automatically syncs with one drive and I tried to unsync it but again it does not work!!!! I'm lost and really annoyed xD

Update : I think I managed to suppress the EA file from One drive and to keep it on my PC because now my path looks like this

 C:\Users\astri\Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 4\Captures d'écran\

BUT I still don't have my saves....

@astridou4  Again, the saves need to be in ...\Les Sims 4\saves (or whatever it says in French instead of "saves"), not ...\Les Sims 4\Captures d'écran\, which is for screenshots.

Yeah sorry the linked I copied was not the right one. But here it is C:\Users\astri\Documents\Electronic Arts\Les Sims 4\saves\Slot_00000002.save, so they are in the right place now but my game does not acknowledge them still. 

@astridou4  Please launch the game and create a new save (no need to spend much time on it; this is just for testing).  Put the sim in a house, save, and quit to the Main Menu, then click Load Game.  With your new save selected, hover over the folder icon below the details (save name, last played, etc.), and copy the file path you see into a post here.

This is what I did with the link I just gave you! Is there sthg wrong with it?

Thank you so much for helping me

@astridou4  I was asking whether the file path showing when you hover over the folder was the same as the file path on your older saves, the ones that aren't loading.  Please compare the two, and if they're not the same, list both file paths here.
