Re: Lost Saved Game

@etult  Do you have OneDrive enabled and set to sync the contents of Documents?  It's possible the entire Sims 4 user folder, with the saves inside, is being moved to cloud storage.  The game can't find the folder in OneDrive and will create a new folder, with no saves or other content, in its place.

If you don't find any content in OneDrive, please search your hard drive for your missing saves.  Open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter Slot_* (with the asterisk) in the search field.  If you find any older saves (check the modified dates), you can click on one of them and then click "Open file location," and you'll land in the location of the save.  You can move any saves you find to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves, and they should be available to load at the Main Menu.

If you get a message about overwriting or replacing files when you try to move them, just cancel and move your newer saves elsewhere first.

If you find some older saves but don't know what to do with them, feel free to post a couple of screenshots.
