I need help with my deleted sims 4 character

The sims that I was playing with, I ended up making a new sims character with the same world as my first one, well not thinking anything of it, I go to delete the sims that I had created with and started a new game, thinking that I still have the sims that i started with.... Nope... I looked in my saved worlds, the whole house and sims are GONE... So I looked up to see how I can recover my deleted sims, there has been people saying to go into load game, go to the floppy disc looking icon and it should pop up the worlds that you had saved.. There is just the one sims that I just made when I wasn't thinking anything of it when I had deleted my first sims. I've tried looking into my trash bin, I don't see anything in that nature where I had deleted a sims or whatever. I went into my Saves folder, the only thing that I see in there, is the new one that I made... I'm so clueless on what I'm doing or trying to do... I'm so upset and mad because I had put to much time and hard work into that story of my sims. And I have saved all the games when I get off, I just don't understand that if i saved them games, then where the heck is it so I can recover it... Can anyone please help?? 😪😩

    BrinaBish What you have told is to use the recovery option to recover an earlier version of the save that goes back to before you deleted the sim(s).  To do that:

    Start the game and when you get to the Main Menu then click on the Load Game option below Resume.  Once the window opens that shows your saves, select the top save and mouse over to the right.  Just before you reach the Play and Delete buttons, a little icon will show up and if you hover over it, it will save recover same.  Click that icon and all the versions of that save that you have will show up.  If there are none that show up, you can't recover an earlier version, but if there are any saves listings, then click on the top one and then the recover save button.  That will create a new save using the earlier version of your save.  Then load that and check to see if the sim you deleted is still in the save.  If the sim is there, then do a save as.  Then play on.  If the sim is not there and there are other versions of the save listed when you recovered the first time, you can go back and recover the second save in the list. You can do that up to five times if you need to if you have five choices for that save.  If you recover all of them and don't find the sims you deleted when you check in game, then you're out of luck and can't get the sim back unless you have a copy of the sim in your Library.

    Hope this helps.
