All my save files are gone
I was trying to play the Sims 4 earlier today, but it wouldn't load my game. I had just downloaded cc, but I already checked and that wasn't the problem. So I downloaded the Mod Conflict Detector so I could delete any mods or cc that were causing my hame to not load. I deleted all of the cc that had conflicts, but my game still wouldn't load. So I searched it up and read somewhere that I should move my entire 'The Sims 4' folder onto my desktop. I did that, but when I reopened the folder on my desktop, all my mod and save files were gone. I found my mods and cc, they're still downloaded just not in the Sims 4 file. But I can't find my saves anywhere. I tried repairing the game, looking through the recycle bin, and I tried searching it up but I couldn't find any answers that work. This is all after the update by the way. All my saves are gone and my Sims game is like completely restarted. Please help, I've spent more than 200 hours on this game, and all my progress is just gone.
Ariiww2010 Did you already have a Sims 4 folder on your desktop? If so, that might explain the problem: the system can't have two files or folders with the same name in the same location. You would have been asked to keep the original or replace it with the new version, in some form, and keeping the original would mean the new files could get combined with the old, or deleted entirely.
I understand you don't use OneDrive, but if it's even running in the background, it could be a problem as well. So please double-check. You'd see a cloud icon in the lower-right corner of your screen, or possibly in the Tray—click the ^ icon to open it.
