no load game button sims 4

When i opened my game, i wanted to load one of my sims 4 households. But there was no load game button or a new game button. All there was was a option to see all of the sims 4 games i have, a option to open the gallery, notifications, and menu. I went to see if my saved games were deleted by going to the sims 4 folder and all of my saved games were still there but i cant play any of them because im not getting the option to load any of my games. What's going on???

    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

  • That's more than 100 hours of gameplay down the road! YAY!!! Just after I finished building a house that took three hours, and started a huge family line! Yay! I'm so happy. Also, none of those things worked for me, I don't know what to do. I'm in literal tears.

    So you moved in your family and on going back to the main menu you still don't have a load button ?

  • I am having the same issue, but my saves folder is completely empty. Any idea where the files might have gone, or why?

    Unfortunately, for some reason the game did not create a new save file and I have no idea why. I did what you said: closed the game, moved my Saves folder in desktop and created new game. I did not find the new Saves folder. I am frustrated since I have 400 hours in the game that have just disappeared in a snap of fingers.
