Sims 4 keeps deleting my save games

The sims 4 keeps deleting my save games and it's getting really frustrating. I have tried using various things to solve this problem like: - Moving the: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves\slot...

    The only save game I could load, was the one I just created to get the load button back.

    But I think I found the issue this time. I created a folder for my sim family within the save folder and the game couldn't recognize them. So, I put the save data out of the custom made folder and it's working again. Now I have a backup file, just in case the game deletes my save games again.

    Thanks for your time! 🙂

Hi @Qwartana

are you using save or save as ? Do you have one or more files in your saves folder ?

Could you describe in a few more details what happens ? Do you not see multiple saves if you click on the load button ?

    The last time i tried Save as, the previous times the game deleted my safe files, i used the save option.
    right now i do not have the load option available. When i made a new character again and clicked the load button, only the new character and her save file showed up.

    I still have my old save from a day ago (which got deleted in game), it's still in the save folder.

      Try placing the Sim into a house then and then go back to the main menu. You should now have your load button back. 

      See if you can then load the game.
