I have been playing Sims 4 on my computer for quite a while. Two days ago, I had my sister set up her own Origin account and I bought her her own Sims 4 game. She does not have a computer of her own, so I have been letting her use my laptop. She has been logging into her own account to play her Sims, but when I logged into my account to play the game, her Sims came up instead of mine. Why is her game loading on my account instead of my game?
This is not a bug, the game is designed this way. The game stores the The Sims 4 save files in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves, and if you're logged into the same user, the same save games will be loaded, this is not connected to your Origin account.
Your games should still be there too, if you click load game instead of play.
The solution is to create a second user on your PC, and she can log in to that. Then she will get her own documents and also her own save games. Then you can also keep your files away from your sister by setting up a password. I've 3 sisters and this is what I would have done in the same situation! 🙂
Good luck.Edit for moderator: maybe merge with this one?
