Playing new sims delete other sims houses & progress
This has happened a few times to me now. I had a sims couple I've played with to the point of them having 5 children, all of which were toddlers at one point. I know, I was very overwhelmed lol.. Well I needed a break from all the kids so I created a new sims family and played with them for a bit. When I went to resume playing with the couple and their 5 kids, they had disappeared.
Thankfully I was able to recover the original couple in my gallery but the 5 kiddos were not saved and never recovered.. I had to start the couple over from the start. Their house, progress, kids were all gone. Now it's happened again. I just purchased Cottage Living and visited the world to check out the houses within. I visited one lot that a family was living on and when I exited, WITHOUT saving, my sims couple was again vanished from their lot. House gone. Progress gone.
I was able to recover them by deleting the recent saves from my "save" folder in my Sims 4 document but I don't want to fear creating new households at the cost of losing the sims, houses, and progress I spend hours developing and building. Is my game bugged?
As a potentially related side note- when I go to load a game only 2 sims families show up to play. Is that normal or should I be seeing more than just 2 options on the load game screen?
Thank you for your time and help!
sounds like you're creating a new save each tim instead of a new family on the same save ? You need to load your save (use load instead of resume) and then click on the Sim on the main menu to create a new family on the same save game.
