Kids disappeared after parents died
Okay so
I had two active households. One was my main and the other was so the kids could have non NPC friends. That second household was an elderly couple with 2 twin children. Now, I switched between both families often, but this time both elders died while i was on the other family, and now their kids are nowhere to be found. They're not even in the relationships tab of my main family's members..
Then I thought maybe they were sent out for adoption and tried to adopt them but they're not on the list of adoptable children either.
Is this normal?? Is there a way to fix it?
I mean, the best way to fix it would be going back to a saved game where they're still alive, but for some reason I don't have one.. I really worked on these families relationships and now theyre all gone please help somebody? ☹️
UPDATE:
Just after posting this I thought "there must be a way to go back to a saved game after overwriting the last save". And there is! It's quite simple actually:
- Go to: C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves
- Sort files by date modified
- The game actually automatically creates backups of your saves when you delete or overwrite a save. "Slot_00000001.save" is autosave. Your "Saved as.." games should look something like this:Slot_00000017.save (Main save)Slot_00000017.save.ver0 (backup 1)Slot_00000017.save.ver1 (backup 2)Slot_00000017.save.ver2 (backup 3)..and so on
- Now, what you want to do is move your .save file to another location (or delete it, althought I recommend saving it elsewhere in case something goes wrong)
- Once you moved your main save elsewhere, all you have to do is remove the ".ver#" from the end of the file you want to restore.
Now the file you renamed will be added back to the list of games you can load!
I hope this helps someone that had similar problems as me. Happy Simming!
