Sims 2 won't save files 2025

The sims 2 won't save or remember the households that I created and played with. Everytime I create a household or choose an existing household of a world, I can play with this household and click on the save button. It says  ''saving lot'' and then the icon dissapeared. To be safe I clicked on this save button several times before deciding to quit sims 2. When I start the game back up it brings me back to the home screen where you can choose a ''new world'' but there is no mention of any save files that I made (only options for ''how to play'' and quit), as if I never had played the sims 2 before. This is really frustrating and I hope someone can fix this issue!

I have bought the sims 2 on the EA app on 3rd of February 2025 (I also uninstalled and re-installed the game but this did not work)
