It does work, it means that in your Mac user account there are no save files. after it has finished it returns the prompt again, like you have explained. If it didn't work you would get an error message. You could try searching all of your Mac including all user accounts, copy/paste this instead:

find / -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null

This search will take quite a while so just let it run in the background.

Have you renamed any of your save files?

@Bluebellflora I didnt rename anything before, no. What i have done, is a time machine before the latest software update. Maybe i could find the old EA games saves folder in my time machine and see if the saves are there? And then copy them? Do u think that this could work?

    Yes, that's a good idea although it would be interesting to know where they are. The new Terminal search should look in Time Machine too.

    @Bluebellflora Then i guess i need to connect my hard drive where the time machine is and then search again in terminal? I hoped they could be in documents ... 😛 so i'm gonna do that tonight and see.. would be such a pitty to lose all the saves, from now on i'll upload all the builds i make in the gallery haha!
