Sims 4 ps4 automation saving bug

I bought Sims 4 to playstation 4 and played one family a lot. My brother wanted to try the game and he created another saving, and for a while it worked ok, we both took turns to play our households. Then the automation saving apparently had a bug, it saved my brothers household on top of my saving. The household name is still my household's, but the house and sims-family are gone, and only my brother's sims are left.

Is there some way to fix the bug and get my household back? I put a lot of time and effort to it...

    @Katjatkuu The Auto save will be from the save that was last played. If you want to load a specific save for your game, select "Load Game" from the menu instead of selecting the big continue arrow.

    The auto save will not save over a regular save.

    Yes, I tried to open the saving from "Load Game". The Load Game is shown in the picture I attached. In saved games there still is my saving's name (Kaitsu & Sauliina), but the Sims are from the other saving (Pelitallennus 2). Even their posture is exactly the same, as in my earlier saving.

    @Katjatkuu If your brother saved over your save accidentally, that would be why they have the same household pictured. The saves do not get renamed when you save over them.

    So, if the save was accidentally saved over, your save is not there. Do you have PS+ and have a backup? Or a backup on USB?

    Unfortunately no, I don't have a backup. I guess there is no way to get my saving back without one. Thank you for your help.
