Sims 4 deleted my current saved game and replaced it with my old saved game

So basically I went to one of my old saved games (My Saved Game 13) to get some NPC’s that Sims 4 removed off my current saved game (My Saved Game 15)  that I was playing on , as I was collecting them I made sure to NOT SAVE MY GAME simply because I didn’t want this problem to happen and weirdly enough Sims 4 STILL SAVED IT but in my current game which is weird because I didn’t save anything around 2pm I was only uploading my NPC’s to my gallery to transfer them over to my current game and now I can’t even play because it’s overwritten with my old saved game! Someone please help me! I don’t know what to do and I tried contacting EA but they claim they can’t resolve the issue, has anyone else have this problem before?

  • Hi @TayyeRac 

    Unfortunately if you've overwritten a previous save file, there is no way to restore that older save file. You'd need to continue playing on this new save file instead.

    @TayyeRac Also I’m playing on PS4 and my game is currently updated so outside of that this all falls on Sims 4 possibly having another glitch among the many they already have

    Hi , I didn’t overwrite my saved game It was 100% on Sims 4 end it was basically auto saved without my permission on my current save and this is just one of the many issues I’m currently having on the Sims 4 but thank you for your response
