The Sims 4 prompted me to install a new update and restart, and when I did I lost all my save files. I want to be able to have my family again. I went into documents/electronic arts/the sims 4/saves and there is nothing there.

There is nothing in my iCloud and storage for it. I have attached images of what it shows after the update. It got rid of all my save files after the update.
