All my sims 4 saved games are gone
When I opened up my Sims 4 game, my saved game is gone! The whole game restarted itself like its the first time I opened it. But in the EA folder, I still have all my screenshots and my game is still...

I'm sorry you're missing your saved games. Maybe they've been moved or saved to OneDrive?
Sims 4 and OneDrive do not work well together. Due to the game not recognizing saved games saved to One Drive. To get saves to be recognized they need to be in the game's save folder. - \Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves
You should be able to move the saves files from OneDrive to Sims 4\saves without to many issues.
It's highly recommended to disable Onedrive for Sims 4, due to it not working well with the game.
How To: Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive

If you still can't find where your saves are located, you may need to search your computer to find where your documents or Sims 4 user files are located. To do this, click the Start button and in the search bar type in Sims 4 and follow the path that it shows you.
If you're not able to find them through searching the computer or on OneDrive, you might try contacting a local computer repair shop to see how much they'd charge to possibly recover the Sims 4 files.
Ok, thank you so much! I will try that out! 🙂
- I just had a look and I don't have a one drive account or anything so it can't be that. 7nfortunately I think this means all of my work is down the hole. :/ Thankyou anyway.

I am sorry to hear that. I've lost a few game saves when I was new to the game. It was devastating to say the least. After that I read up on all I could on saving backups of my saved games, households and houses so I wouldn't ever loose them again.
Something that maybe worth trying is to launch the game, create a new Sim and save the game. Go back to the Main Menu and press the Load Game button. Select a saved game. Mouse over or hover over the tiny folder under the game saves information. Like shown in the photo in the post linked below:
