My save game is missing

Hi The Sims Community! I need your help.

My last saved game has disappeared; I can't find it anywhere.

As I found out, I played the save game A. Now I’m done playing. So I clicked out of the game as usual. And on the same day, when I tried to log back in to continue playing save game A, it turned out that it was gone. I've checked other save games, but they're not there. I only played this household in the town that came with the business & hobbies expansion pack; I didn't play any other NPCs or Sims. Normally, the last family I played with would appear in the save game cover, but this time it's completely gone.

Do you know how to fix this or recover it? That save game has triplets with Winter Father, and I really want to play it again.

Thank you so much in advance!

    tokenmynt​  There was an announcement a couple days ago in the Sims Discord about saves being overwritten.  Is this possibly your issue?

    Additionally,  we're investigating a issue where manual saves can inadvertently override each other during a very specific flow. If you open a save file, make changes, and exit to the main menu without saving, and then load an autosave - choosing "Save and exit" from that autosave will override your latest save instead of the original one.

    If so, I can merge your post with a longer thread in bug reports, but I don't want to do that if you're not seeing the same thing.

    Regardless, you can try to recover a backup save, if they exist.  Here's how:
