Re: How to Play Sims 4 off an external drive

Okay so I deleted and redownloaded it in a folder so it's not directly in the user. It downloaded perfectly!

I just booted it up and it's working!

Only downside if that only the most recent save file is being registered in game. 

At least we fixed my initial problem!

Any idea on how to fix the rest of my saves? No worries if not, i'm sure i'll find something

Thank you so much for your help!

    @NaamarTissue  Since you know the game is reading the most recent save, you know where to put your other save files.  Make sure they're all named in the proper format, as I mentioned in post 9.  The saves that end in .verx are backups of the saves with the same number, so you can ignore these unless the main save with a given number doesn't load, in which case try restoring one of the backups.  To do that, renumber the file and delete the .verx extension, so the name ends in .save instead.

    If this doesn't help, please post a screenshot of the contents of the folder that contains your saves, as in, I'd like to see the file names and sizes.  Let me know which save is the one that currently shows up.

    I got it working!

    I had taken out all the .verx cause I was told to delete them. Luckily I saved them on my desktop! I put them back in my save folder and now they show up in game!

    Got them working and everything is good now!

    Thank you so much for your help!
