[HELP] Sims 4 acts like I started the game anew. Saves won't show up.
Hi, today when I tried to open my The Sims 4 game, I found out that all my progress is gone. The main menu looked as if I had just opened it for the first time, there is no "load save" or anything. These are the problems I'm currently having:
-My saves are suddenly gone, even though there are saves in my "saves" folder (see attachment).
-I lost all my saved households and lots in my library, the ones that I have created, apart from very old once that I have showcased.
-I lost my progress on the daily log-in rewards. I was in week 3 (as it had just opened for me), and now I was starting on the first reward again.
-My mods don't work anymore. Even if they are in the correct folder.
-Sometimes when I try to exit the game, it won't let me.
I have tried a few things;
- Opening the game without my mods folder: didn't work.
- Try restarting my computer and thus the game: didn't work.
- Tried to use a back-up file folder: didn't work.
- Tried to repair the game: didn't work.
- Tried to uninstall and re-install the game again: didn't work, the same things occurred.
I have no clue how this has happened. Last week my game was fine, and now it's not, while I haven't done anything with my game OR my computer really. If anyone know something about it, please help me. I, however, do not know a lot about computers or files, so please talk to me as if I'm a toddler lmao.
I think it has something to do that my game doesn't refer to the right files anymore, hence why my saves aren't showing up. But I don't know how to resolve this.
Any tips or information would be very much appreciated.
