Hello,
I'm a bit annoyed. I thought I'd download my first mod and I put it in my EA folder and when I opened my game again all my saves and everything in my library was completely cleared. All my packs are still there, I have removed the mod but wondered if anyone knew how I could get either some or all of my saved things back again.
Thank you.
@mizzmashxo Are you perhaps using a syncing program like OneDrive? It sounds like something decided that since you had a new file, it was going to "fix" where your folders all are.
Here's some information about where your mods (with the Saves folder in the same folder as the Mods folder is) should be: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mods-CC-Issues/INFO-How-to-Use-Mods-and-CC/m-p/13436258#M58777 - see item #3
Here's information about OneDrive and Sims: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/CURRENT-ISSUE-Sims-4-saves-user-content-disappearing-PC/td-p/12475370
Here's how to find where the folder the game is looking for saves and mods in is: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/
hey, ive had a look around but unfortunately I'm not very techy. Hopefully nothing has dispearrpd forever just a matter of finding it? but even all the stuff in my library has just gone so can't even try to replicate my sims and houses x
@mizzmashxo Pick a filename of a file you know you have in one of those folders and search for it. Check the *full path* of the folder.
Do you use OneDrive or something similar? For OneDrive, you can get support with finding your stuff wherever it is right now at the link I posted above. And then get support on getting OneDrive away from Sims and your stuff back where it belongs.
searched my one drive and can only find one folder in my Mac documents but I'm afraid I'm still not sure
@mizzmashxo I'd suggest posting to that OneDrive thread for support. The people doing support there know much more about the ins and outs. There's also a Mac tech support area for Sims issues. Either way, I suspect this is a folder-location issue for you.
@mizzmashxo Does your computer run Windows or macOS? I'm not totally sure from your description whether you're using OneDrive on a Mac or have Mac-related files stored on a Windows PC.
