@ceb6973 I'm actually not seeing the Fowler household anywhere in this save, just the Frink and Skidmore families in Oasis Springs. This might not be the correct save file? If you select Load Game from within the game, and hover over the folder icon of the affected save file, it should tell you the exact file name of that particular save. Like in this screenshot:
So sorry about that! Here's a new link with the correct save: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Aub2vVg_AqSEcuGQ2alQNfYutXI
It took me forever to figure out what was going on. It seems I have TWO Sims 4 folders and I took the most recent save from the old one. Not sure how this happened, but it appears when I installed the game back in 2015 it created a folder called The Sims 4 directly in my downloads folder, instead of creating an Electronic Arts Folder first and creating The Sims 4 folder in that. I checked, and all the saved files in that saves folder are dated back to 2015.
Then, in 2016 I must have reinstalled or something because then it created the Electronic Arts folder and put both my Sims Medieval and The Sims 4 in that. That folder is where my newest saves are and I got the correct one from there.
Okay, this may sound like TMI, but I do have a question that makes it relevant, I promise! I'm wondering since there's apparently two separate The Sims 4 folders containing all the game files, am I safe in deleting old one from 2015 without it messing up the game? (I did a quick scan, both seem to have all of the same program files). Since they do take up quite a bit of room, I'd like to delete the one if I can. Don't worry if you recommend it and I run into problems, thanks to this little issue I'm secure in knowing I have my latest save safe in OneDrive!
I'm mainly just double checking with you for reassurance as I'm probably gonna give it a go.
Thanks again for all your help! (You guys have made seeking help from EA SOOOOO much easier/more pleasant than it used to be back in Sims 1 and Sims 2 days!)
