I Lost At Least 2 Saves
Hi, I just played my one game save last night only to discover that it had gone back at least 2 saves w/no option to go back to where I was before. First of all, my game did crash, but I know I didn'...

I just rebooted the comp and the house is unfrozen, but lagged. Is there any kind of cache files to clear?
On this one, I tried going back to previous saves (I saved the file "slot.00000002.save" to a place on my desktop and renamed "slot.00000002.ver 0- 4" to just .save), but it didn't matter which file I chose, it was always the current one regardless of what the save date on it was. Is there no way to recover and older save or is my game totally messed up?
@Sonshine77 That is strange indeed. Do you use OneDrive? If so, are there any Sims-related files in OneDrive's Documents folder? How about a third-party antivirus (and which one)?
Please also load this save, make one obvious change, use "save as" to rename the save, quit, restart your computer, load the game, and let me know whether that change is still present in the new save.
Hi again Puzzled Addict, Sorry for the late response, I've been pretty busy. Anyway, in my last attempt to try to find my lost saves, I think I must have been half asleep! I was pretty tired and not thinking straight. I tried again tonight and made sure I opened the old game each time. The saves were indeed different. However, I was not able to recover any saves that I lost. In the real game (the saved as) I am rebuilding what was lost. She topped her career and he topped his and now has almost everything that he had before. He just needs to either graft a couple of plants or fish to get some Dragon Fruit. I have the Bonsai now and just need to get an Orchid. I got tired of waiting for the cherry tree in Sylvan Glade to produce fruit in spite of waiting and waiting, so I went to Oasis Springs to get it. Only had to wait until the next morning for it.
@Sonshine77 No worries about the late reply. At this point, it's difficult to know for sure what happened, but it's definitely a good idea to make backups of your saves as well as save any builds you like to the in-game library when you're done. If this happens again, please let me know, and we can poke at it further.
