Re: The Sims 4: Saved Progress gone!

Fixed it! All I did was delete "The Sims 4" folder which is located in the "Electronic Arts" folder. But before I deleted it. I took out the "saves" and the "Mods" folder.

I then started up the game which forced the game to create A NEW "The Sims 4" FOLDER.

Next, I exited out of the game and went to look at the new folder. I then replaced the saves and mods folder with the older ones.

Loaded up the game again, and everything was back to the way it was.

Simple.

    I'm having this same problem, and I tried what you said and there was no new Sims 4 folder. All of my saves and mods are gone. However, I think my mom did something with icloud? I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem though...  I have a Mac.

    Omg. You are truly a life saver. I was FREAKING out when I realized that all of my saves and mods were gone but the folders were still full! I knew there had to be a solution because if it was really gone, then the files wouldn't be there. Thank you for figuring this out!!
