Re: missing sim

sadly, this did not bring my sim back ☹️. I'm now just accepting that all my work with this sim is gone. if you or anyone else have any other ways to help me that would be great but I just don't think it's going to happen.

    @vendyboy Did you try loading an older save where your sim was still there? Ok, here is how you do it:

    When you get to the Main Menu, select "Load Game".

    Then, at the bottom of the load screen you will see a button next to "Load" called "Recover Save". Click on "Recover Save".

    This will let you choose from older save files inside your save file. Try and click on the first one from the top.

    This will create a [Recovered] save file. Now click on that [Recovered] file.

    Can you see your sim? If your sim is not in that file, you can try another one (there should be at least 5 for you to choose). I'm sure one of them has your sim!

    You may lose some progress, but I think it's better than to lose your sim completely, right?

    For the future, it is good to save the game always and often. Also make a "Save As" sometimes. This way, you will not lose a sim again.

    I hope you can find your sim and be happy again!

    I wish you the best of luck!

    @vendyboy, thank you for testing your Mods/CC. 😇 This is always a good thing to do when things go wrong.  
    Also, did @DMDragonCT , advice help your situation? 🤔 Hopefully you can get your Sim back this way, even if you loose a little of the progress on them. 🤞

    One other suggestion is that your Sim might be in the Manage Household section!  Have you checked there?🤔
