argburdotnet I apologize for the late reply. Do you have the same number of .save files (without the .verx backup) as saves available in-game? What I'm wondering is whether some of your .save files aren't showing in-game, or all the ones you have are showing but some others were deleted.
If the game can't load or even display some files, you could try loading a backup instead. To see which saves are loading, choose Load Game, select a save, but don't click Play. Instead, hover over the icon to the right of the sim portraits and under the save name. It'll show the full path to the save, including the file name. So you can compare what you see in-game to what's in your saves folder. The save has to be selected to show this icon.
If all the saves in the folder are represented in-game, and you can't find saves anywhere else on your computer, then the only other place to look would be onedrive.com, in case they were uploaded at some point. If you do see saves there, keep in mind that they may be different from what you have stored on your computer even if the numbers are the same. As in, your old Slot_0000000a.save could have been uploaded AND removed from your computer, allowing the game to create a new Slot_0000000a that's distinct from the old one. So when you're downloading them, renumber the files and check them manually.
