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 ...

Please open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy and paste the following search command then hit Enter/Return:
find / -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null
After a little while it will return the results of the search. You'll know when it's finished searching because the command prompt will reappear. Please copy and paste the results in a post here. It may take a while to return the results so be patient 🙂

Oh great 🙂 For reference, there are two save files in the output from Terminal which should load:
/Users/harleyledward/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000003.save
/Users/harleyledward/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save
The rest are all backups of those saves.
