Gotcha. But these two files you mentioned c&p'd are a couple new ones I created after everything ws wiped out. What I'm trying to understand still is if there's a way I can transfer or copy the old ones from iCloud, which is where I understand they ended up. I tried c&ping them all into the actual computer folder, but they didn't show up on the game itself. Is there a way I can run the game still using them? If so, am I just copying the ones titled "saves/Slot_00000002.save" from iCloud or...?
Yes, you c/p them from iCloud into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves. But if you're running out of space that won't be possible.
So I tried c/p'ing the iCloud saves folder into the computer files (I fully replaced the save folder, too), but somehow even though the files are there, they don't show up in the game. Is there anything else you can think of?
Could you post a screenshot please of your Sims 4 folder. It needs to look exactly like mine below with the file path clearly visible at the bottom of the Finder window (View > Show Path Bar if it isn't already showing) and please have the saves folder open showing the save files with their full file name visible.
