Existing Save Files Dont Register
Every time I open the game it asks for me to start a brand new save. This is happening regardless of the or backed up Sims 4 files with my saves and Steams cloud storage. I have 4 existing files from various times that I save my game, which I started from scratch on 7/6/25. They are still in the my save folder and I kept copies of them through the following processes:
- Used Steam Game Properties to verify file integrity.
- Then uninstalling and reinstalling Sims 4 from scratch. This included deleting any cache and going directly into program files to remove all sims 4 data so it could install fresh
- Removing the save files, starting, then re adding the same files.
- Removing mods and starting with a fresh game, clean game does not correct the issue. So I know its not any mods (I only use 4 mods at that)
- I have done the whole restart PC thing
- No error codes found
Ive spent well over a thousand $ in this game and Im for sure ever going to buy anything from Sims ever again if my saves are gonna just poof after 1 day of use :(
