Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Sims 4 saves/user content disappearing (PC)

@puzzlezaddict I have done the saves folder but the trays folder has over 700 items in it. Is there an easier way to transfer them or do I have to sit and go through each file one by one? Also, I know you said that the saves files need to contain" Slot", an eight-digit hexadecimal number, and finally ".save", however, the most recent ones that occurred after my issue started are labeled as  "Legacy.save". Does that mean anything?

@HushPuppy305 The saves that have Legacy in the name must have been manually renamed; the game wouldn't do that and couldn't read the files.  You can test them by deleting everything after .save .

For the Tray files, sort the folder by modified date and test groups of files with the same date.  Saving an item to your Library creates several files (how many depends on the item), all with the same creation date, and all of these need to be present for the Library item to work properly.  So you'd transfer one group at a time rather than one file.

However, it's not necessary to test each group individually.  I'd do with the first one just to make sure the game can read these files at all, but after that, you can try larger batches of files at once.

I would still set aside anything with Copy in the name—don't delete it, but put it in a different folder somewhere out of the way.  If you're missing some Library items, you can look for them among these files, but they may all turn out to be duplicates.  So instead of painstakingly renaming each one, ignore then until and unless you need them.
