Excluded Music file keeps disappearing from folder
I now keep a copy of my "excluded music.txt" file on my desktop as it keeps disappearing from my Sims 4 folder. This isn't a major problem, just a pain if I forget to copy it before loading.

@kc922 I don't actually know where this file is or how it works, but since no one else has answered, I can try to help. Please let me know where the file is located and whether any other files or folders in the same general area are also disappearing. Please also let me know whether there's any pattern to the disappearances, for example after updates or repairs.
Thanks @puzzlezaddict , it's in the base/main Sims 4 folder. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason that I've noticed. It's the file that's created when you modify the in game music channels.
@kc922 So this is in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4? If so, OneDrive could be syncing and removing it, although it would be odd for only that file to disappear while everything else is intact. I also haven't seen other reports of this, although that might not mean much if relatively few people use the file or know about it.
As far as patterns go, is it possible you're changing a setting, any setting at all, when this happens? I'm wondering if the game is trying to update or overwrite the file and failing.
