HELP!! Updated my game & my 4 saved families are gone!
Help! Since this last update, 4 of my saved families have disappeared from the Load Game tab. I used a PC and a very few CC. I had recently used Sims 4 Studio to make sure that all of my CC were working fine. After the update, I played my game for a while and sent my Sims to travel. The next screen was the screen of all the worlds. I return to the household, and played 4-Sims-days later and saved my game. I tried to have her to travel again, and the screen of all my worlds showed up. I return back to her home and saved the game. On today and after opening my game, 4 of my saved Sim families are gone!! They are not on my Load Game tab. The resume game sim was a family that I had played 3-4 months ago. I did not back-up my game. I have tried to go in my saves folder and removed the last 5 saves, and still no saved families! Please help! I am frustrated! I have spend 3 hours on reading and trying different ways to retrieve my lost 'saved families!!
Thanks in advance.
@MzBlueInTenze If you look at your saves, you can see some of them have an extra number in parentheses, for example Slot_00000011 (4).save from July 31. That extra number prevents Sims 4 from reading the saves properly. So try renaming that save to Slot_00000020.save (eight total digits: exactly six zeroes and then 20) and see whether it loads. You can try the same with the other two saves with extra numbers as well; just make sure to give them different new numbers, e.g. 00000021 (again, eight digits).
If you can load the world but not a certain household, let me know whether whether you can load a different household within that save.
