Re: Sims4 Progress Gone - Please help!

@puzzlezaddict Thanks so much for the quick reply.

My game was in German before. And yes I still have the German titles folder "Die Sims4" which also has my latest .saves that I want to continue from. However, it looks like the game is not accessing that folder but instead created another folder when I repaired in in English "The Sims4".

I don't mind the language change, my main issue is getting my progress back. Would this help with that as well?

I had alraedy reinstalled the game before. But I can't see any language options, where would these be? My EA app is still in german, even the title of the game, only when I open it it changes.

@arielle2punkt0 The language options should show up when you initially choose to install the game:

Or you can simply copy your save files from "Die Sims 4" to "The Sims 4," and they'll work fine. They're inside the saves folder, naturally. From what I understand, the saves will still have German names for sims and locations, but the text will of course be in English.

@puzzlezaddict Thank you so much! I was able to move the .save files over and have got my progress back, yay!
I might still reinstall to change the language again, but very happy the first issue is solved now, so thanks a lot for your help!
