    I don't know how that Mod works but it appears to create saves files so even if you removed the Mod from your Mods folder the save files remain in the saves folder. If you cannot load these modded saves it's probably because you removed the Mod.

    This is the only save in the correct location that the game should attempt to load and should be visible when you click Load Game at the main menu, or Resume Game:

    /Users/x/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save

    These are in a saves folder within the saves folder which is why they are not loading:

    /Users/x/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/saves /Slot_0000000c.save
/Users/x/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/saves /Slot_0000000d.save
/Users/x/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/saves /Slot_00000007.save
/Users/x/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/saves /Slot_00000006.save

    and this one is in a saves folder, in a saves folder, in the saves folder:

    /Users/xl/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/saves /saves/Slot_00000002.save

    Thanks so much! I moved one set of the saves back to the first folder, deleted the copies, and it worked. Everything's back! Not sure how I didn't see the folders in folders before, but again I apperciate your help and time :)
