Recover deleted file

I had a saved sims game starting in july, it was saved over and then deleted. Is there a way to recover that game? Im trying everything and nothing is working.

    Sadly, you are out of luck on recovery of the deleted save.  When you delete a save in the Load Menu, it does not go into the trash bin if you are playing on a Windows computer or the equivalent on a Mac, and there is no alternative on a console either.  A deleted save is permanently gone.  The only way to continue to play that save is if you have a backup that was a separate file.  Otoh, if you deleted the save directly using Window file explorer, you might be able to find it in the trash bin and restore it.

    Hope this helps.
