Game not saving progress

I am having an issue with saving my progress. I was playing and saved the game and the next day when i loaded my game it brought me back to where I started the day before so I lost all progress. I tried to redo everything I did in game and saved and tried playing the next day and it just went all the way back, undoing everything I had done twice already. I tried recovering but when i load into the game now it brings me to the manage worlds and doesn't load into a household (i did not save in manage worlds). I tried doing "save as" instead of just save but that also didn't work. I also keep getting the notif saying "uh oh looks like WW complex save data might have failed to load..." i uninstalled and reinstalled WW and it's still popping up. I removed my whole mods folder and I am still having this issue with my main save.  Unsure of what to do. I play on PC and have 4 mods and no CC. All mods seem to be up to date as well.

  • @2c546c66baff4a6c Please move your mods folder to the desktop, delete Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > localthumbcache and then try again on a backup of your save to see of you can duplicate the issue on a game with no mods.

    I did this and there’s still an issue with no mods. I tried opening a different save not related to my main one and this issue isn’t happening. does this mean my main save is corrupted?

    @2c546c66baff4a6c Possibly, yes, but it could be related to the mod that that message is about, which means there might be a remedy. For that, I'd suggest contacting the creator. You might, in the meantime, also try a "save as" instead of a save.

    I have been trying the save as but it also doesn't work. What do you mean by contacting the creator? (sorry i am very new to this and don't usually have any issues with my game).

    -thank you!
