This hasn't worked for me. I tried the solution you suggested. I have the saved files but whatever I do they won't open and there is no Load Game option when opening Sims 4.
My son has spent 12 hours of gameplay and now can't open his saved game, he is mortified. If the load game option is there on Xbox, why not on my Mac?
Begs the question why I bothered saving the game at all.
How many saves do you have in your saves folder ? Do you have any with ver0-ver4 as extension ?
Since you're on a mac, you might be better off asking in the mac forum but at this point, I don't think it makes a difference.
Are you using oneDrive ? Did you check if you have a electronicarts\sims4 folder there ? Maybe the game is using that one
Hi @spookyspill
I'm glad you got your saves back.
For the future, please start making regular backups: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/backups/
http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/save-games-disappearing/ you mean this?
Did she move the files back before or after the saving?
Let her try leaving out the file named 'slot_00000001.save'. That's the auto-save, that might be acting up.
Just leave it outside of the EA folder.
thanks that worked. Lets go EA......fix it
I am having the same issue, but my saves folder is completely empty. Any idea where the files might have gone, or why?
Unfortunately, for some reason the game did not create a new save file and I have no idea why. I did what you said: closed the game, moved my Saves folder in desktop and created new game. I did not find the new Saves folder. I am frustrated since I have 400 hours in the game that have just disappeared in a snap of fingers.
