Thanks a lot for all of your replies. I feel like I'm doing everything right but I just can't get it to work. It's only giving me the option to start a new game. I thought that if I clicked in the Options settings in Origin it would give me the option to locate game, but it only shows me move game. I'm usually fairly savvy with the basis with something like this but I just can't figure out how to get the old game running.
@djmiele65 This has nothing to do with Origin. Origin only controls the game's program files, and saves are user files.
Please post a screenshot of the folder that has your saves in it, as in, I want to be able to see the save files themselves. Be sure to include the address bar, above the list of files, in the screenshot.
Thanks. Attaching a screenshot here
@djmiele65 Sorry for the late reply. First of all, the game won't read anything inside the second saves folder in your screenshot. So if your missing saves are in there, you'll need to move them into the main saves folder.
Second of all, OneDrive is syncing your files, and in fact it was in the process when you took this screenshot. (That's the blue arrows icon. A green check mark means a file or folder is synced, and a red X means it could not be.) This isn't necessarily a problem on its own, but OneDrive can definitely interfere with Sims 4 content, so it's better to block auto-syncing, at least until you get everything else sorted out. You can deselect Documents for syncing:
You may first need to pause or cancel the current sync:
Or if you have no use for OneDrive, just unlink your computer:
Once that's addressed, make sure the saves are in the proper saves folder and see whether they'll load. If not, please post another screenshot just like this one.
