Uploaded to drive and lost all my progress
Platform: Mac
Mods or cc: No
Game version: 1.109.185.1230
Splurged and bought some new packs. To spare my Mac I uploaded stuff to iCloud and surprise ... the sims file went along. Now when I launch the game it starts all over :((( I've downloaded the file from iCloud which did nothing. How can I troubleshoot this or is there nothing to be done? What else can I do? I haven't launched the game, exited main page without started playing.
Also is the file correctly named? It's under Applications -> EA Games -> Electronic Arts -> The sims 4 (and from what I can tell here are all my save files)
simmiesmen Your user files, including saves, need to be in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. The EA Games folder is for your games' installed files, as in, what the EA App installs. So please move your saves to the Sims 4 folder in Documents and see whether they load. If not, please post a screenshot of the contents of the saves folder, as in, I'd like to see the save file names.
For further help with iCloud settings, please see this thread:
