Re: Sims 4 saves missing after origin update, but old saves are there?

@hunnybunbun90  How are you searching?  The most thorough way (short of using the command prompt) is to open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter Slot_ in the search bar.  If you let the search run to completion, you should then be able to sort the results by modified date, so you can look for the saves that correspond to when you last played.

If you only find save files with a .verx on the end, or the game won't recognize the ones that end in .save, you can use the manual method for recovering a backup save:
