Sims 4 saves lost MacBook
So I've been playing sims for awhile and this happened recently. Losing my saves. I put off that it saved the games to my iCloud in system prefrences. Now however the only thing I did was retrieve the sims files that were in my iCloud, named the folders something else and opened my game so I just had these old lost saves backed up.
When I opened my game my most recent saves were gone, all my saves as if I just downloaded the game for the first time? So I renamed The Sims 4, to the The Sims 4 again because some people said it worked. It didn't. I repaired Origin, put my laptop on and off. Nothing is working. I only see my published households in my gallery but households / houses I saved in my library are gone? I clearly see my saves on my laptop but they're just not showing up? I also looked in OneDrive but there aren't any saves there. I'm so confused I legit see my saves they're just not showing up?
I also tried making a new household, playing a little, saving them and then restarting my game. Then I can load a game but it's the household I literally just made. I'm just so annoyed it's really really frustrating. This game costs a s h t ton of money and my saves are gone which I put a ridiculous amount of buggering time in. Please help!!
