i deleted the entire SimCityUserData folder like you said and now my whole city and server is gone, thanks a lot....😠
@DarkKnight2603 - I'm sorry you're having problems. The only things in the SimCityUserData folder (default location C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\SimCity\SimCityUserData) are settings and options related to the game. Your city data is stored in the Documents folder (default location C:\"Your_User_Name"\Documents\SimCity\Games)
When you delete the SimCityUserData folder, the game will recreate it and put your settings and options back to new game status. I just did this on my computer, to be certain that nothing had changed. I can see how you would think you lost your games, though, because during the reset it doesn't automatically open to the server you were working on.
You're presented with the tutorial again - easiest thing to do is to just click through it again to register that you've done it.
When it takes you back to the loading screen, you're going to see a default loading screen, possibly with a different server. You can't change the server from this screen.
Quit the game, then re-launch.
On the bottom left will be the current server.
Click the "Select Server" and choose the server on which you were playing:
Your city is still there, on whatever server you were playing. It will be available when you choose the right server:
If you don't remember which server you were on, you can keep changing servers until your city shows up on the load screen. I've done that myself a few times, it's a lot of clicking, but you can find it that way.
If you deleted another folder by accident, try checking your trash on the desktop. You can always restore from there.
Happy Building!
