Randomly Lost Progress In My Game

Question

I opened the Sims today ready to get back to playing my legacy challenge - after it had only been literally 5 days since I last touched that file - just to see that a lotttt of my progress has been lost. The last time I opened the file was Feb 19th, but the game and the saves folder under my Sims 4 document both say that the last time I played was Feb 8th. I'm incredibly confused. I can't seem to find my last save or anything more recent at all for that specific game. Even weirder, all of my other files are perfectly fine without any strange faults. On Feb 20th, I made a new game, and I am wondering if this may have anything to do with that. However, ever since I started this challenge well over a year ago now, I've created and heavily played with three other games and have never had an issue like this. I'm just really hoping to get my progress back before I'm essentially forced to drop the legacy as a whole, which would be so, so devastating, lol.

Open Terminal (Applications &gt; Utilities) and copy/paste the following command then hit enter/return:
find ~ -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2&gt;/dev/null
This command searches for all files starting with Slot_ (save files). You will know when it has finished searching because the command prompt will reappear. Copy and paste the results here please.
