Data loss after game crash

Hi, I had a save file that i have spent hours on recently and made lots of progress (it's part of the generations challenge), and i don't save my game often until i actually leave, which never normally creates an issue for me. My game unexpectedly crashed today in the middle of playing, and when I reopened the app, my save file had reverted back to the last time i'd saved, meaning i lost all my progress. I then attempted to compensate for said lost progress, but realised it would take a long time - i closed my world and attempted a few different things; i tried to recover my worlds (i recovered 5 different versions of the world) and none of which were up to date with where i had left off before the game crashed, and i also tried renaming my oldest file from that world (in the ea save files on file explorer) from 'save.ver2' to just 'save', which also didn't work. I followed 2 YT tutorials, both of which told me the same thing, and nothing is working. The crash happened after I tried to make my sim go first person (shift and tab). Please help!!!!!!!

    Your game will load from the last time you saved which means the last time you saved before it crashed. The save files ending .verX are simply backups of the actual save file. You didn't save so therefore there is no save data to load in the saves folder. There is no autosave feature in TS4.
