Hello,
I updated my Sims 4 game and during the update I thought I would buy a bundle with an expansion pack, game pack, and a stuff pack so I can download those after it updates and have everything ready for me to use.
I got the game going and it showed me the pop-up for the 3 packs I got and details for them, though I didn't actually get any of the content in build mode or in cas. So, I tried restarting the game and the computer multiple times and nothing was working. I then decided to try and make a backup copy of my game file so that I can do a game repair and have a backup if anything goes wrong.
However while doing this, I ran into an issue where my MacBook air kept telling me I couldn't copy the files over because it couldn't read them so I looked some stuff up and this one thing said to take the file out of my ICloud. I did that and was still unable to make copies so then I tried to get into the game again but it started a new save file like the one from before never existed.
I have tried putting my old save file back into my iCloud and deleting the new save files that the game kept creating every time that I launched it, but it just kept creating new files. I tried renaming my original file, it is called "Electro Arts" and inside it is "The Sims 4" but still nothing changes.
I don't know what to do from me as I have my original save files still, I just can't seem to load them into the game whenever I launch it. I don't want to try something and accidentally lose my original file in the process, so any help is greatly appreciated!
I've merged your post into the master iCloud thread. Please see the opening post for further instruction.
Hello, thank you for your reply. I tried following all of the instructions from that and it still kept making new save files. I'm not sure what else to do.
Go to Applications > Utilities then open Terminal and copy/paste this search command then hit Enter/Return:
find ~ -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null \
-exec stat -f "%Sm %N" -t "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" {} \; | sortOnce the command prompt reappears it has finished. Please copy/paste all the search results here.
I'm sorry this is very long, I hope I did this correctly. I put it all into a google docs, let me know if you can't access it for some reason.
