Re: [READ FIRST] Saves, CC/Mods or Library items disappeared? iCloud issues

Hey! I was also having this problem. I figured out how to fix it. Go to system preferences, Apple ID, iCloud, then click iCloud Drive options..., and uncheck the box that says Desktop & Documents Folders. This will make you a new folder on your computer that says Documents. Instead of your documents automatically being uploaded to iCloud. So once you uncheck the box click done/save, and open finder and move your EA folder from your old iCloud folder to your documents folder. And when you load up the game it won't make a new one again in your iCloud it'll now use the one in the documents folder. I hope this helped! 🙂

I accidentlly moved all my sims files out into my iCloud Drive. I have done lots of research and problem solving and I have gotten my saved games, mods, and all of my custom content back in the game, but I still can't figure out how to get my library back. I have found all of the files for my library on my laptop and have them in my tray folder, but still every time I open my game they are missing! I have updated and repaired my game and they still aren't there. Anyone know what to do?

This just happened to me, May 2024. I don't understand. I added a couple of new mods, which are simple. I think the game updated and I go in there and hundreds of hours of gameplay is totally gone. I looked through your threads and haven't find anything that helped. 

1. I have an older Mac. 

2. I tried hitting "repair" didn't work. 

3. I looked in my save folders, there are several saves there (up to 4?) 

4. I do not have One Look. 

5. I deleted the recently added mods to no avail. 

6. I checked the Icloud settings, my Mac does not save Sims data to iCloud. 

7. I checked how much space my Mac has, it has 93 gigs of space. Plenty. 

8. I looked at the version, it ends in 12 something, not Legacy Version. 

9. I am completely lost. Am I screwed? 

i had the same thing too but i just rage quit and deleted everything :((
