Re: i deleted my cc now my families gone :(

@asyaogrunc  Try recovering the backup version of your old save.  Go here:

Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Saves

and you'll see a folder with your save name and a second one with the same name and a .backup extension, as in, SaveName.sims3 and SaveName.sims3.backup.  Rename the backup and delete the .backup extension (e.g. SaveName1.sims3), and that will be available to load at the Main Menu.

If you can load this backup, let the game clock run for a couple of sim-minutes, then use "save as" to rename the save again.  This will preserve the original backup in case you need it later.  Using "save" overwrites the existing data; "save as" creates an entirely new save without touching the old one.
