Can anyone help with testing a save file that's not showing up in-game?

This issue only happens with one particular world. I am able to select the world when starting a new game, edit the town, and save the game. The save does correctly show up in the Saves folder, and creates a .backup file if overwriting a save. The problem is that the saves for this specific world do not show up in the main menu when choosing a save to play.

I have many other worlds (custom content, store, etc) that have no issues with the save files. I have tried saving with and without my mods folder, which does not make a difference. I reached out to the creator of the world, and they stated that nobody else has reported this issue (I also cannot find anyone else with this particular problem for the world).

I have all expansion packs and necessary requirements for the world (I can load and save it with and without mods). The world is empty, apart from the buildings (no sims).

Would anyone be willing to see if my save will load in their game, or be able to provide advice as to what steps I should take to resolving this issue? Any idea as to why I can load the world, but cannot access the save?

    @obeyelisia  Does this happen if you create at least one sim and place them somewhere in the world?

    Rather than testing your save, I'd prefer to have a look at the world on my own terms.  So please let me know its name and where I can find it.

    @puzzlezaddictEven with a Sim placed the save still doesn't show up in the menu. ☹️

    The world is Rockwood Island by Gruesim. It's available via their tumblr (not sure if I can put a direct link here, but it's from this post: gruesim . tumblr . com /post/689139754119413760)

    I was actually able to find a furnished save file for it as well, which also doesn't show up in game for me.

    @obeyelisia  I'll try it when I get a chance and let you know what I find.

    It used to be that links to third-party content weren't allowed on this site.  But the rules changed a few weeks ago for Sims 4, and for Sims 3 by extension.  Dangerous links are still now allowed, but a link to a cc world hosted on someone's tumblr is fine.
