Ever delete stuff and just ... cry?

I got a bee in my bonnet and decided I needed to build a new house for Erik Cantrell, my Rock Star. He had an Obsessed Fan who kept entering his house and the long and the short of it, Erik no longer felt secure in his own home. I even built a basement to be a Panic Room, but then that caught on fire. It was horrible. Thing is Erik had several Best Song Accolades for the first time since I began playing this Sim. Once those are out of the household inventory and placed somewhere, you can't place them anywhere to move them with you.

I lost everything when I thought I had them secure in one of those university trunks. I tore down the current house and built a new one in its place. When it came to setting up the trophies I was in for a rude awakening. Thankfully, a few other players talked me through the ordeal. I use Save As . . . every time I make the first save in a playing session. I was able to roll back and retrieve his trophies, after a very kind player built a small mod for me that made the Accolades go straight into the winner's personal inventory. That has made all of the difference. But I just lost all of my saved Trays with everything I have ever built in this game. I'm hoping once I get a new gaming rig, they can pull everything from the hard drive and place it onto the new one.
All of this to say I truly feel your pain.
