    @Teee_2000  Sorry for the late reply.  Please right-click on one of the save files in your previous screenshot and select Get Info.  You'll see the file path under Where.  This should match the location you see in-game exactly, other than the files being in saves rather than Recorded Videos.  If the file path points to iCloud, that's the issue: you need to move the saves back to the local version of Documents, not the one in cloud storage.

    For more help with this issue, please read the first post of this thread:

@Teee_2000  It sounds like the game is reading a different Sims 4 folder than the one that contains your saves and mods.  Please use this in-game method to find your user folder:

https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

Compare the file path you see there with the file path to the folder that contains your user content.  If they don't match exactly, for example if one of the file paths has OneDrive in it, that's the issue, and you simply need to move your saves and everything else to the correct folder.

If you're not sure what you're looking at, or the above doesn't help, please post a screenshot of the contents of the saves folder, as in, I want to see the saves themselves.  Please also post the file path to the Sims 4 folder as seen in-game through the method above.  You can write [username] instead of your actual username if you want, but leave the rest of the file path intact, and also let me know if you see the wrong username there.
