create-a-style not saving designs when I travel

I've got world adventures, and I save styles when I'm traveling, like new wallpaper styles, chair designs, flooring patterns, etc. Then, when I travel home, they get deleted and I can't find them anymore. I'm really frustrated because I've done quite a bit of building/designing houses and rooms while traveling, but I can't bring any of those custom items/patterns home. They don't even show back up when I travel back to where I was when I saved them. How do I get them back/ fix this?

    So, I've done some trial and error, and it will save the new styles, but only if I return home and then save. If I quit the game, or, as often happens, the game freezes or stops working, and then get back in, every new style I've saved abroad is deleted. It's still rather frustrating, because I have to travel home before I quit playing, cutting trips short and limiting when I can build or design lots.

    one thing i can think of trying is this when you have the pattern the way you like it use the share button to send to your exports folder although your not actually going to share it then save and quit the game , then go to your exports folder open the folder to see if the pattern saved  if so double click on the pattern and install it to your game see if it shows up then in your regular game

    try 2 or 3 patterns to test it out
