so i tried to drag my original folder back into the ea in documents and it doesn't recognize my graphic card and my old saved game is not there. Did i really screw things up?
Thanks,
Jenny

@Jennyjk30 Are you saying that Sims 4 launches now, but your saves and other content don't load? Please first confirm that your saves are present in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves. If they're not, either you moved the old Sims 4 folder somewhere else, or somehow the files were deleted. If you want to search for your saves, here's how (just that one section of the post):
If you find any saves, either by opening folders or from the search, please post a screenshot of the contents of the folder they're in, as in, I'd like to see the save files themselves. Include the address bar, above the list of files and folders, in the screenshot.

HI there,
so I had dragged my original save like we had talked about and then when i got it working again I dragged it back into the ea sims folder thinking I was putting my save back, I know i should have waited for directions.
I included a screenshot, the last time i had saved the original save (my original save was yesterday morning) but I don't see anything until I started playing with it last night trying to get it to work. Here is a screen shot of that search. I did do a new save of a game too i started a new game to play with.
Thank you so much for helping,
Jenny

@Jennyjk30 I can't see exactly where these saves are because the end of the file path for each one is cut off. But what I can say is this must involve two different folders because Windows won't let you have two files with the same name and file extension in the same location. So the two copies of Slot_00000002.save , for example, are both in Documents > Electronic Arts, but it's unclear exactly where they are beyond that.
Is this the extent of the search results? I ask because other than the new save and its backups, all created the night of the 27th, the saves listed are from September 11 and earlier. I hope this is just a partial list of saves and that nothing else was deleted, but I can't be sure of that either going only by this screenshot. If you're having trouble with the Windows search, you can use Everything from VoidTools, which is a faster and more thorough search (and free), instead.
