b5vegg17o3gp Do you still need help?
Felexsu sonatastern It's possible that this coincided with Windows changing the location of the Documents directory, which is where Sims 4 looks for user data. For example, the locations could have swapped between these:
C:\Users\your username\Documents
C:\Users\your username\OneDrive\Documents
Without knowing what your particular old and new locations are, I can only speculate as to why. But if your Documents directory was NOT in OneDrive previously and is now, it's likely because of a Windows update that asked whether you wanted to automatically back up your data. If you said yes, Windows would move the Documents directory to the OneDrive folder above and start syncing its contents.
If this isn't the case for you and you'd like to know more about why this happened, please list the current location of your saves (that the game is reading) and where they were previously.
That's what I was afraid of. Coincidentally, that happened when I turned my notebook on, and the OneDrive started to backup (previously it asked to and I said yes). The original folders have a error to synchronize with it, so after Felexsu's answer I looked it up on my Explorer and all my Sims 2, 3 and 4 were "duplicated" yet empty, like if it was the first time playing them.
Even tho were duplicated, Sims 4 and 3 were empty in the new one, and in this case I didn't lose my CC and saves. But I lost everything in my Sims 2 folders.
The only way to prevent this is turning OneDrive off, right? Because to make it the cherry on top, my OD keeps warning me about errors that it couldn't sync - .exe files only and I can't even delete the notifications and inside the Explorer there is a error icon very annoying.
And yes, it was everything you said. OD - Personal and just Docs. That was so frustrating. And then the EA App gave me trouble again, fixed, yet was another headache.
