EA app uninstalled my sims games, can I get my saves back?

So, after seeing a lot of people playing the new cozy bundle online, I decided to download My Sims on PC (I already bought it a long time ago, just decided to redownload it) via the EA app

I loaded up the game and, even after repairing it, it was bugged and I couldn't use my cursor, so I uninstalled it.

Problem is, the EA app decided to also uninstall every other game I had on it, which thankfully was just Sims 3 and 4

I'm currently redownloading everything (which includes over 35 pieces of DLC), is there any way to restore my game? No, I didn't have any backups of my files

    @jujuborba  Hopefully you've figured this out by now, but as long as you didn't install your games in the same locations as your save are stored (Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims _), the saves should be intact.  Uninstalling the game generally doesn't delete saves unless the files are mixed in together.

    As for why the EA App uninstalled your other games, where did you install MySims, as in, what was the exact location?  You should be able to see it in the EA App, under MySims > Manage > View properties.
