lost sims 4 saves

Hi, can someone please help me? i accidentally moved my documents folder out of my one drive and when i went onto the sims 4 i had lost all of my saved games and it was like when i first bought the game and non of my cc was showing up in game either. it had the tutorials and everything. so i went and obviously put the documents folder back into my one drive but its still the same. does anyone have any advice? i have lost over 600 hours of saved games ☹️

    Copy the user files (your saves and mods) from the oneDrive folder to the local hard drive folder.

  • Hi @ElleTomlinson0

    when you removed it, the game potentially went back to using the one on your local hard drive.

    Have you tried copying the files here: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\ ?

    In your documents folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\

    There should be a folder called documents on the shortcuts in Windows. Click on that.

    When you start a new game and save that, where does that appear ? In the saves folder in documents or on the oneDrive ?

  • i found the local hard drive documents u were talking about and copied my mods and saved games into there and my game has got everything back now.

    thank you sooo much! u r literally a life saver!!
