@imzadi35 The Sims 3 folder you moved to your desktop should contain the missing data. Has that folder disappeared too? If so, is OneDrive running on your computer, and can you find a backup copy of this folder on onedrive.com? Please check both My Files and the Recycle Bin.
Yeah, I looked and couldn't find it in that either. I'm going to sadly have to start over. This seems to be a repeating issue with The Sims. It works for a while then glitches out and you have to start all over. I wish there was a permanent fix to stop the glitches.
Thank you anyway.
@imzadi35 Data should never just disappear like this. I'm not sure OneDrive is the culprit here, but if you'd like help getting rid of it, or at least keeping it away from your Sims 3 data, let me know.
yes please, it was really odd that this happened good thing I had sence apparently *I found a folder in my portable hard drive* that had all the houses I had made and people. So least thats the good news but yeah I want to get rid of the onedrive.
Thanks so much

@imzadi35 I wrote this guide for Sims 4, but the concepts are the same for Sims 3:

Choose whichever category suits you and follow the instructions. If you get stuck on a particular step, let me know what you're trying to do and how it's not working.
I personally don't have OneDrive linked at all, but it IS possible to use it selectively while preventing it from syncing your data automatically.
