Save Files turning into exec!!
So I am trying to transfer my save files over from my windows laptop(I'm getting rid of it). I have it moved and all set in my flashdrive, but when I copy it to my Mac the save document files turn in...

Yep, and that all looks good.
Is that the save that is loading? Or not loading? It absolutely should be loading as you don't seem to have iCloud Drive pushing everything to the cloud, it looks locally stored.
If it isn't the one loading, can you right click on it, Open With, and choose the game to open it.

@Bluebellflora I'll try that, but whenever I open the sims it just takes me to create a sim. I even created one and checked the different world locations or my houses/other sims and they are not there.

Hmm, it's really strange. Could you attach a save here and I will download it to test? Could you also repair the game and see if that helps? It wont let me attach the save. it says "unsupported extension type". How would I go about fixing the game?

Upload to a file sharing site (like iCloud) and DM me the link. I have DMs off but will turn them on temporarily 🙂 - @Bluebellflora It's in my iCloud folder, but how do I get the link so I can send it
- @SamtheSlothh
Login to iCloud in a web browser and navigate to the file in your saves folder.
Click on the icon that looks like a head with a tick on it at the top of the browser window and a small window should pop up.
Click on 'send link' then copy the link and paste it into a DM to me here. - @Bluebellflora Thank you! I sent it 🙂
- @SamtheSlothh
Got it thanks 🙂 I couldn't get it to load either so I did something I should have done earlier and asked @crinrict (the save genius). She confirmed it is an autosave that is no longer used in the game. It didn't show up as an executable file for me though, just a generic document.
Do you have any others that I can test? @BluebellfloraI can add the others to the iCloud file for sure and I'll send it over. Thank you so much for doing this for me🙂
