Unable to open my saved games

Hi, I'm playing the sims 3 on PC version, Bootcamp of my I mac. I changed the language to Korean from English cuz I feel like playing the sims 3 in my language for a while. After changing the language, I confirmed the language has been changed and I found a Newly created the sims 3 folder in Korean words in Electronic Arts, Documents. I moved DCCache, DCBackup and ccmerged file, userpreset, Saves folder, and now I cannot get into my ALL saved games. Even I cannot open the saves which I was playing tin the Bridgeport. I rechecked all the Eps and Sps are enabled and they are, but still cannot open the university save files as well. I moved the worldcaches folder into the newly created the sims 3 folder. There are Monte Vista World cache files in WorldCaches.

If the store world has to be re installed, then other save files like Bridgeport, University and Moonlight Falls are supposed to be fine but I cannot open them either. All Saves are not available to be connected. Is there any something wrong I've done? I'm not sure. I tried the live chat but  it's not the business time, so I'm asking to get any good tip here. thanks. 🙂

    @aodoherty  I haven't tried to switch languages like that in Sims 3, and I honestly don't know how it would work.  I can test tomorrow though—I also have a Bootcamped Mac to play with.  Just to confirm though, did your saves work recently, or is it possible they were corrupt before you switched to Korean?  If you hover the mouse over the icon for one of the grayed-out saves, is there some kind of error message that tells you why the save is unavailable?

    Please also start a new save, just for testing, quit and restart your computer, and see whether you can reload it.

    Thanks. Eventually, I was able to solve my issue. In fact, after posting my issue here, I went back to English version again but after reading your post, I changed back to Korean again, then this time, I tested everything before bringing my saved games like mods, DCcache folder, Downloads folder..even.. , and I tried to open a new game in the store world but I couldn't see any store world in the list of the new game. So I had to remove all store worlds from the installed contents in launcher, then I had to re install all over and now it works everything fine. 🙂 But I still have no idea what caused that issue.
