    1. Close the game
    2. Try moving your saves folder to the desktop, then start a new start the game to create a new saves folder.
    3. Close the game
    4. Put one of the save games from your folder back (not the slot_00000001.save, that's the autosave)
    5. Check if it now shows up again

Yes, that is the website. She quit the game (which was on the Main Menu), opened game files, put the Saves folder back into the game, and then reopened the game which led to saving-and-quitting. So to answer your question: the "Saves" folder was back in the game files when she saved.

Update on the reinstallation: This did not put her Saves Games back (I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but her New Game and Load Game buttons disappeared [and came back after the process here, however her Saves were gone]).

Let her try leaving out the file named 'slot_00000001.save'. That's the auto-save, that might be acting up.

    Do you mean that she should delete that file from the Saves folder? I don't understand what you mean by leaving it out, there's not anywhere else to put it from what I know.

    Just leave it outside of the EA folder.

    Okay, I will instruct her to do so. Should I have her move it back after?

    Not sure if this was exactly the correct move, but I had her move the file out of her EA files and start up the game. No such luck—her old saved games are not back.
