Re: Save files on old hard drive replaced by files on new drive

@puzzlezaddict  Unfortunately no I had the SSD wiped after moving all important files. I do have the entire Sims 4 folder though and it is not just the saves but the whole folder that is identical, including CC and things I did not have installed before switching to new pc. All other game saves are fine though only sims 4 is affected which makes me more confused ☹️ I still have all my saves for other games dating back to 2019 to when I first built the old pc saved in this "old files" folder...

@helka-exe  Then the only explanation I can think of is that you somehow copied over the new Sims 4 folder, and it overwrote the old one.  There's no way Sims 4 itself did this, and OneDrive shouldn't either unless the "old files" folder was in Documents or another folder that OneDrive syncs.  Even a cleaner app would have simply removed one set of files, if it did anything at all, rather than replacing the old with the new.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what else to tell you.  If the old saves are gone, and the drive that held them has been wiped, there's no way to get them back.

@puzzlezaddictI figured as much, thank you for the help anyway I have recreated some of the families since but just wanted to see if I could get my old gameplay back. Who knows what went wrong with it but it is clear that it's gone now. At least I know to be more careful with transferring files in the future🙂
