Missing all my save files - please help :(
Hi! I was playing for a couple of hours today, everything seemed fine, no game crashes or anything like that. Right when I was about to get off the game, I noticed a couple of my builds were missing ...

Hi all!
After some years of not playing, I wanted to started up the SIms 4 again. However, the Origin app was not working. Then I saw on the Sims 4 website there was a new EA-app, so I downloaded it. When I started up my Sims 4, there was no 'saved games' button anymore, as if it was a new game. However, it still has my expansion packs and showed how many hours I played. My saved game are still in my documents in the ' Electronic Arts' doc. Does anyone have any idea what happend and how I can get my saved games back? I can't find any article online that can help me with this.
I read this page, but it doesn't help either: [READ FIRST] Saves, CC/Mods or Library items disappeared? iCloud issues
Please let me know, thanks!

Please follow the instructions to run a search in Terminal in my post directly above yours, post no. 4.Hi, this comes up for me..... it's too long, I can't put it in the message. See the attached document. Thanks a lot!
That is a lot! I can see you have saves in multiple locations which is why they aren't loading. The saves you want to load must look something like this:
Slot_00000002.save
Begin with Slot_ then have eight numbers/letters then end .save. If they have any additional numbers they won't load. The ones ending .verX where the X is numbers 1-4 are backup saves.
The saves MUST BE directly in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves. Anywhere else, like the Applications folder, or a folder called Electronic Arts 2, and they won't load.
