All CAS CC
Since the latest patch my game even though the CAS cc is present and functioning right in the game has been ejected from all of the tons of sims I created. This is frustrating because that possibly m...
@Flamerooie Thank you for the helpful screenshots!!
How to recover a previous game save:
In-Game Method:
Go to the Main Menu and choose ‘Load Game’. Select a saved game, then hover over the small folder icon and click this icon.
This will reveal your most recent saves on that ‘Game Save’. Select the ‘Recover’ button on the version (see time stamp) that you prefer.
Game Files Method:
Or you can do this in the game files by following the directions here:

Lastly, for future reference, it's super important to store a backups of your game on your computer or an external drive. I backup my game almost every time I play. I've also learned this lesson the hard way. At the very lease, if you play with Mods/CC, you should always make a backup of the entire 'The Sims 4' folder (or at least the 'Saves' folder) before an update, in case you need it. Directions for backing up your game files in this spoiler tag:
You will want to save the following folders:
Confession time. I save my entire ‘The Sims 4’ folder, and just keep just a few copies of it. This is overkill, but you may want to back it all up once in a while.
How to find your game files/folders:
what should I do if i see the April 13th as a file but not in game?
@Flamerooie Please try recovering to that save via the Game Files method I mentioned.
Go into the saves folder and find Slot_00000002.save.ver4, (which you see in your screenshot below). Rename it to Slot_00000012.save, exactly like that, and load it in-game. Let me know whether the Sims are then wearing their CC.
(Note: This will show as a new game save when you open your game, and you may need to scroll down a bit to see it, since it has an older date.)
Please make sure you make a backup of your game before doing this, via the directions I shared previously.
*sigh* ....nothing works I hate it here I hate this game
@Flamerooie I'm so sorry you're discouraged. I hope you'll eventually start a new game save, or save & re-dress some of your favorite households. Best wishes to you, and thank you for trying these things!
