I play the sims casually and have 1400 hours in it. I recently bought the 2 new kids the Glam essentials kit and the mudroom kit. When I went to open my game it acted like I had just opened the sims for the first time and all of my saves and families and houses were gone from my gallery. The strange thing is was when I looked at my documents and the save file folder all my saves were still in there, it’s like the game doesn’t recognize them or something even though I haven’t touched it. I don’t use Mods or CC so I have no idea how this could had happened. I’m not very tech savvy so I literally don’t know what to do about this and I’m freaking out
Basically_Duncan It sounds like the game may have started reading a different location than the one it did previously. Here's how to find that location:

If this new location is fine, you can simply move your old data there. If it's not where you want it, for example if it's now in the OneDrive folder, let me know, and I'll help you revert.
As a side note, OneDrive can reenable itself during a Windows update.
Just realized I never responded to this! It was exactly as you described! Suddenly the sims created a new file location on my PC instead of the cloud, gave me a heart attack XD luckily I was able to use the method you described and moved all the files there! Thanks for your help!
