A single savefile is not appearing in-game anymore

A save-file where I had over 600 hours clocked in has stopped appearing in my list of saves in-game despite the files still (I think) being there. OS: Windows 10. Game version: latest. Packs: Most...

    Okay, so I safe-copied the .tmp-file and changed the file from .tmp to .save and loaded Sims, and both worlds are now back.

    I have no idea how, but now both the original and the new problem is gone. Both worlds are working and I can play them just fine.

    Thanks for your help, I am sure something made it work along the way since I originally started this topic 👍

@CyanideBread From the naming, I can't see a reason why it shouldn't show up.

Maybe something corrupted ? If you're willing to share it, you can upload the file to google or one drive and pm me the link

Will need to wait till tomorrow though as I'm calling it a night.

I can't tell why it shouldn't appear either.

I will send a link to a file in google drive.

    @CyanideBread The good news is, it shows up for me. The bad news, now we still don't know why it's not showing for you :D

    The path shown on the folder is exactly the same as your windows path to the file, right ?

    Okay, something very strange has just happened.

    Good thing is: my dissappeared world has just come back when I opened Sims to check the file path. I have no idea why, as I haven't done anything.

    Bad thing is: now my second-most played household has dissappeared. It's the save called "Slot_0000000f.save", and it's file seems to have changed from '.save' to '.save.tmp' (a tmp-file) for some reason.

    @CyanideBread Did it gets stuck saving ?

    Is that with the game closed ?

    Tbh, I think your setup isn't working very well with Sims.

    @CyanideBread As long as it works :D

    Glad we could recover your save.
