The new save function is deleting my saves, renaming them, etc. My daughter and I both play. When I saved my game tonight it completely deleted my save file that I had been saving it under and saved ...

    I tested it pretty thoroughly and could not break it.

    No saves suddenly turning into older save-names and over-writing existing save files.

    I saved as three times, deleted one and saved two more. Then I went back and checked. All the old existing saves were left alone.

    I think it's really fixed!

@joshlaura03 and @LittleMsSam 

What happens if you try the "recover save" button on the save that was lost? Can you press play on the save that was lost? What message do you receive? What mods were you using?

Are you happy to upload the folder containing your saves? This is normally "documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves" but you can see the exact location by hovering over your folder icon in any save. You can upload the folder as per the instructions here

Thank you both for any information you can provide.

I uploaded two Savegames.

Slot_00000010 is the Test Savegame i loaded yesterday to test new Mods.

I quit the Game by Quit Game -> Save and Quit no unusal messages did appear.

Today when i loaded my actual Play Savegame i saw that it had the Picture of the Test Family i played last. After loading the Savegame i saw that indeed my Play Savegame got overwritten by the last loaded Savegame.

The Savegame that got overwritten is the Slot_0000000e after it got overwritten.

Luckely the fifth of the recover Savegame Options had the original Household etc. saved so i could recover it.

I'm using  a lot of mods plus 2GB CC. I added a List of Mods i'm using in a Textfile.

Also one of the script Mods i had to delete today was in my Folder yesterday and caused a huge lastException.txt. I'm not sure if that could be the cause of the Problem or not. Just in case i added the lastException.txt in the Upload too.

    @LittleMsSam Thank you for the uploads.

    When you reloaded the fifth recovered save was much of your progress lost or was the game at the point you were last playing that save?

      I'm pretty sure it was the point where i last saved, so no progress loss.
