When I opened the game after installing a software update, it loaded in as if I were a new user. I checked the save file and all of the files were still in it, but weren't showing in the game. I then uninstalled and reinstalled the game ,which deleted the saves, but I'm kinda over it now. I am not sure if it's an iCloud issue, but I know it's not a storage problem.
Uninstalling the game has no effect on the Sims 4 user data folder, this is a very common misconception amongst players. But iCloud does interfere as it is all to do with storage on your Mac.
Merging your posts into the iCloud master thread as iCloud is the culprit. The opening post has more information.
