Sims 4 save files not showing
I’ve recently ran into a few issues trying to disable OneDrive and move my sims folder back onto my desktop. I was able to successfully unlink everything and add my mods and cc back into the game ~ as it shows me the pop up message at the start.
However, my save files aren’t showing up.
Whenever I go to leave the game and search in my sims 4 save folder, all of the save files are there, yet when I go to the game it only selects the oldest save file I have.
For example, I played first at 2am and then again at 3pm, yet whenever I join the sims it recovers the 2am save file… which doesn’t make sense as my folder shows both the 2am and 3pm save files in the folder.
I made quite a bit of progress between the two files and I’d like to not restart over from the first save.
When I try to click recover save, nothing shows.
Another note I’d like to mention is that the save files all have different version names. I do not believe there is any issues regarding the name of each save file. I also ensured that I moved the save files into the correct saves folder on my laptop, as the mods were moved within that same Sims 4 folder location.
I’m able to see all of my saves in the save folder yet the game only recognizes the oldest save file. They all have different names, so I do not believe that is the issue. I don’t know what to do.
@brileah11 You can simply delete the .ver0 from the most recent save, and the game should be able to load it. These are the backup copies for a given save: the data from the last five times you saved before the most recent one. (It looks like Slot_00000002.save itself was deleted somehow.)
This goes for any save with a .verx on the end, but if you recover another backup, be sure to rename it so it doesn't conflict with an existing save. For example, if you recover the .ver1 copy, you'll need to rename it to Slot_00000004.save or higher.
