@pinknails122 There are a few ways you could go about this. The most straightforward one I can think of is to create a new save and see where it lands. Call it testsave , exactly that, and quit the game. Restart your computer, launch Sims 3 again, and see whether you can load that save. If you can't, then the issue is likely iCloud moving files to cloud storage, and you need to disable that:

If the save is available, that's great: you just need to put the other saves where this one is. Run Terminal find command to find its location:
find / -name "testsave" 2>/dev/null
Terminal is case sensitive and will also only search for something with the exact string in quotes, so if you name your test save something else, change the command accordingly. The point is, wherever this save is, your other saves need to go there too.
Because I lost my other games I just created a new game, family, house, etc and it seems to run fine. I still can't load Twinbrook as it freezes while it loads, that's a huge bummer. That was a separate issue I had before this current issue took place though.

@pinknails122 I'm not sure what's going on with Twinbrook. If you're loading it with the Pets expansion present, some error in calculating pet routing might explain the issue, although that's just a guess based on how pets and houses with foundations don't always get along. You could also try deleting and reinstalling Pets: open either Applications > The Sims 3 Packs or Users > your username > Applications > The Sims 3 Packs, move the EP05 folder to the desktop, and you'll be able to redownload the pack.
