@csyntichakis Is it possible your saves were moved to OneDrive? Please check inside OneDrive's Documents folder for any Sims 3 content. If you find your saves, let me know; you'll probably need to stop OneDrive from automatically syncing the contents of Documents.

If you don't use OneDrive or it doesn't contain any relevant files, try searching your hard drive for *.nhd (with the asterisk). Each save folder will have one .nhd file per world that's been loaded, so if there are old saves somewhere on your computer, the search should find them. You can click on an .nhd file and click the "Open file location" icon at the top of the screen to jump to the saves' current location, then move your saves and any other content you want to keep back to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3.

So I looked at onedrive but it wasn't saved so I tried to research at Windows to find my saves. Luckily I had an old file which had my saved games and my downloads so I moved everything to the new file and in case I lost everything again I saved my old file to onedrive.

Thanks allot for helping me🐱
