UPDATE:
Just after posting this I thought "there must be a way to go back to a saved game after overwriting the last save". And there is! It's quite simple actually:
- Go to: C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves
- Sort files by date modified
- The game actually automatically creates backups of your saves when you delete or overwrite a save. "Slot_00000001.save" is autosave. Your "Saved as.." games should look something like this:Slot_00000017.save (Main save)Slot_00000017.save.ver0 (backup 1)Slot_00000017.save.ver1 (backup 2)Slot_00000017.save.ver2 (backup 3)..and so on
- Now, what you want to do is move your .save file to another location (or delete it, althought I recommend saving it elsewhere in case something goes wrong)
- Once you moved your main save elsewhere, all you have to do is remove the ".ver#" from the end of the file you want to restore.
Now the file you renamed will be added back to the list of games you can load!
I hope this helps someone that had similar problems as me. Happy Simming!
@avecremm I know its been a few yrs since you wrote this comment but I am wondering if this is for the sims 4, it did not work for me. while I was away on my main household I had 2 teens from another house hold move out which I did obviously but left their siblings with the elderly parents, the father died and i was not expecting the mother to die but she had done so now the other 2 younger children have gone, I previous saves from the file for the same date and in hope it made room for older saves to come through and I followed your instructions but unfortunately it hasnt worked. any other suggestions?
Consider using Save As.
