My cloudsync folder full of .user, .lastsync, and .back files?
Hi,
I moved my Sims 4 game from my 2nd HD to my 3rd HD, now my game won't sync my names saves or anything at all.
There's currently nothing in my Sims 4 saves folder but going to C/user/appdata/local/ElectronicArts/EaDesktop/CloudSync there's files.
There's 6 .USER files, 6 .LASTSYNC files and 1 .BACK file. I'm not sure if these are all for the Sims as I own 2, 3, 4 and have played them all in the past but only have Sims 4 downloaded and just found out my save file is gone, or even for the Sims at all since I have a few other EA titles downloaded.
The files have different amount of numbers in them (example) 00000_00000, 00000_0000000, 00000000_00000000.
So, is there a way to find out if any of the file types above are Sims files or if there's another file path I could search to see if they're there?
So far I've checked:
-C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\cloudsync
-C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Origin\Cloud Saves
-C:\Users\User\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 (All the folders have nothing related to saves)
All of my Origin, Steam, save file folders, etc.
Any solutions or ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated!
@xXSalibathXx Thanks for the screenshot. Those files are all several orders of magnitude too small to be Sims 4 saves, and probably too small to contain any meaningful data at all. I'm not actually sure what they're for, but I can ask around if you're curious.
You can still search your computer for any stray Sims 4 saves. Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter Slot_ in the search field in the upper-right corner. If the search finds any saves, select one and click the "Open file location" menu button, and you'll jump to where the saves are. From there, you can move them back to the correct folder.
If you don't find any saves there, and there aren't any uploaded to OneDrive (which can happen automatically, so please check), then they're unfortunately gone.
