Sims 4 Save File Corrupted
Hello.
I have been playing on the Sims 4 before I reset my PC. When I say that, I mean factory reset, all files deleted, apps gone, and everything. Reset back to like when I first got the PC brand new. I started to install the Sims 4 again because I actually miss the good old days but I realized that I literally didn't back up any of my files, which includes saving games. So I'm sad now, but I figured out a solution. I installed this software where it can recover the files. I remember that I put all the saves in the folder which was in my desktop. As I use that software to scan, it actually found the file. The exact same name which was "My Sims 4 Save File."
I looked inside and there were all of the same files. The notepad with all of the 3 system files. So, I dragged everything into my saves folder of my Sims 4. I boot up the game, and I was excited but it turns out that the save files were corrupted. There was like 20 saves but each single one corrupted. Is there a solution? Please tell me if there is, or if the save files are gone forever.
Thanks!
- @confinedexpert Those files that don't have a .save behind the name won't show up.
Names need to follow these conventions
Slot_xxxxxxxx.save
x being a hex-decimal number from 00000002 to ffffffff
the ones with verX in the back are backups, they also don't show up
