Accidently Deleted Game in Sims 4

Hi @SEE2726

could you post a screenshot of your saves folder ?

Did you delete the save game ingame ?

Did you also check your trash if there's any slot_0000000x.save files ? (x being a random number)

Hi! 

I did delete the save game in game.  I thought it was a different family that I was deleting.  There is nothing in my recycle bin showing slot.  Here is my screenshot of the "saves" folder.  All the slots listed are old families and not the one that I deleted by accident. 

The first one is from the scratch folder I assume ?

If so, try renaming that to slot_00000006.save and see if it does anything. I really don't know too much about the scratch folder, but it's wroth a try.

Was that the only file that was in the scratch folder at the time ? It's possible that this is just not the complete save, hence it doesn't work. It was worth a try though.

Have you ever used oneDrive ? Maybe there's still a file in that folder if you're lucky ?

Otherwise, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do. Only option would be an older backup you maybe have somewhere and continue from there.

My advise: Save in circles. So have 3 or 4 save games for the same game so you have a backup if you accidentally delete one. Also make regular backups to an external drive. Especially before patches.
