So i was playing in build mode on sims 4 mac version today, and while saving my PC crashed and restarted. i was convinced everything was fine until i opened it and, my saves are missing! the game just open like it was the first time i played. I even checked manually in the saves folder, there is nothing. Has anyone had a similar issue and where they able to find back their saves? I'm really worried i had so many hours played on this save!
Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities) and copy/paste the following command then hit Enter:
find / -type f -name "*.save*" 2>/dev/null
It may take a while to return the results, it is searching your Mac for files ending in .save. Once it has finished please copy/paste the results in a post here. You don't have to include any results which are obviously not save files like stuff in /System/Library/CoreServices.
here is what came out, i dont realy know what it means, im not realy great with the terminal but here it goes:
/System/Volumes/Data/Users/louis/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save
/System/Volumes/Data/Users/louis/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save.ver0
/System/Volumes/Data/Users/louis/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save.ver1
/Users/louis/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save
/Users/louis/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save.ver0
/Users/louis/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves/Slot_00000002.save.ver1
its a new one i created after the incident, i wanted to play even if i was not able to find my save. that the only thing that the terminal found.
i have 5 GB left from my pc, i need to clean it to free so space.
