You can double check the location your game is using by going into the game settings to see where is saves screenshots. Just so that the both of you know where it's at 🙂

Sry to interrupt, I found out that this was possible a while back and it's really handy with these issues. Please continue 🙂
If I'm understanding your first post, you still have your saved games in your Sims 4\saves folder.
C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves
As that's what is says in the first post. It may be the game isn't reading the save files correctly. - I've had this happen to me a few times and what has helped is renaming the save files in the save folder.
Have you tried renaming your saves? If you have an old auto save file (Slot_00000001.save) it's safe to delete as the game doesn't use it anymore. To rename your save, remove the version number. - .ver0 or .ver1 by deleting the .ver1 on the end.
For example:
Slot_00000002.save.ver1
Rename it to:
Slot_00000002.save
You may want to give it a different number if you already have a save 2 in your folder. The game should then recognize the save file again.
If the above doesn't help, Crinrict has some very useful tips on saved games disappearing:
