Lost memory after unrecognized video card error

f2l7wfo186uv 

The error message and lost saves are not connected. You can add your M2 chip to the GraphicsCards.sgr file if you want to get rid of the message but the message itself causes no issues. iCloud is most probably the cause of your lost saves - [READ FIRST] Saves, CC/Mods or Library items disappeared? iCloud issues | EA Forums - 10979712 

I don't  have any issues with the storage of my Mac as it is brand new and has about 100 GB of free storage space. I don't have much space on my iCloud but it is not set to store data on iCloud anyway. The Saves folder is empty and I completely lost my saved game (I checked every other relevant folder including Tray, Mods and Saves). Is there a way to retrieve the lost data? There is no longer a load game option in the main menu so I couldn't try with that either. 
Or is there any way to make sure this doesn't happen again if I start a new game?

Ok. Please do a Terminal search to see if the save file still exists in your Mac user account somewhere. Applications > Utilities then open Terminal. In the Terminal window copy and paste this search command at the command line then hit Enter/Return:

find ~ -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null

Let it run, you'll know when it's finished because the command prompt will reappear. Please copy/paste the results in a post here.

This only searches within the Mac user account you're logged into. If you want to search all user accounts on the Mac replace the `~` with `/`.

I created a new game, just to try if it works. Now I see 3 files in the saves folder, but I don't  think that they are my old saves:(

Thanks :)

All the files ending .ver[number] are backups.

This save file won't load because you have created a folder called jatek in your Documents folder and have the Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves folder within that folder:

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

This save file will load because it is directly in the Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves folder:

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

You cannot move the Electronic Arts folder to any other location other than directly in the Documents folder because the game will not know you have moved it. The game will simply create a new Electronic Arts folder when you next launch it hence why your save didn't load after you moved it.
