HELP !!
Ten minutes ago I opened Sims 4 and everything was normal.
Then, before I could get started, I got two messages:
1) a Better Exceptions pop-up, that TwistedMexi's "T.O.O.L" had been updated to a new version (v2.8.4)
and
2) "It's Patch Day, should I check for problems?"'
So, I said yes to the patch day check, waited for the report and then closed the game (w/out saving).
Then downloaded the new T.O.O.L version, deleted the old version from MODS and installed the new version.
When I re-started the game......everything was gone! It looked as though I had just bought and downloaded the game only five minutes ago.
The Sims 4 folder (i.e., "Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4....." etc.) on my laptop still looks the same as it did before.
I do not use any Cloud services....everything is stored on my (very new, very empty) laptop.
What happened....and more importantly,....what can I do to get back a (single) game of some 21 months work, with 27+ houses and ca. 190 Sims ???
Many thanks for any suggestions/advice.
Alex
Edit:
I just noticed something strange in my Sims 4 folder.
Under "Saves" there is a "steam_autocloud.vdf" file (from 01.Nov.2024), which I have never seen before.
Could that have anything to do with it...and what is it ?
I have my game from Steam.
