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)

  • I just tried the sims 2 again after the update (06/02/2025). When selecting a world (after saving), the families that I created are still there! So I think it is solved?

  • I have the same problem I have tried 3 times with 3 different sims but it won't save and I can't leave the lot because my household will get deleted if I do hopefully it will get fixed 

  • I forgot to mention this is about the Sims 2 Legacy that was released as a bundle (Sims 2 + Sims2 Packs) on EA for the 25th birthday celebration

  • This is essentially the problem that I’m having. My game actually saved but now I can’t get back in.  When it gives you the ability to go into a lot and make changes I can still see my sims stuff in the dorm room but essentially she’s nowhere to be found.  And like you said all I have is the new game, quit and tips tutorial, the load games is nowhere to be seen.

    After the patch I was no longer able to play the first family I saved, it had disappeared and only the last family I created was still there.  I guess I will try to recreate that family and hope the other household doesn't become inaccessible.  I realize this is an old game, but I distinctively remember having more than one family (I think) when I was originally playing the game.
