My whole game progress got deleted after the latest update

Hello,

on 29th July I updated my game. It opened and I found the homepage completely blank with no progress a no played families, it was like I turned it on for the first time. In other words all the work I've done in 177 hours I played the Sims 4 was gone. Everything I had saved in my gallery was also gone including the stuff from the other creators I liked.

My whole game progress got deleted! i ask you to look into it and hopefully bring my whole progress back because I've spent 177 hours on some truly amazing builds I would not like to lose. I don't really care about the progress i made in the game with my families since I lost interest in this part of the game but I want my builds back!

All the custome content I added to my game was deleted as well and I couldn't find them even when i put them out of the file they should  be at and then them back in.

Thank you in advance for looking into my problem. I truly hope you can bring my progress back to my game.

your game user,

Winxy01

    It uses the folder it should be using but it seems that all my progress got deleted from the "saves" folder for some reason. I know for a fact that it wasn't me though.

    So all the folders are empty ?

    Do you have a folder on oneDrive too ? Did you check there ?

    Yes, it's all gone. I guess it's gone for good, huh?

    You can try search your HD if it got moved somewhere by accident but yes, sounds like they were deleted.

    Search for Slot_*.save to see if it can find any save games.

    For the future, make sure to backup your entire user folder on a regular basis.
