Oh that really sucks. So many including me have had problems with this broken update.
When you open the sims save file in your file explorer, there are a whole bunch of documents that start with "slot". Copy those onto your desktop or somewhere else. Just save them just in case cause those are your save files. Check the dates on them, when they were last modified. If these are also showing may 25th that's no good.

Run the game again and see if anything changed. If not, let us know.

hey!
both my internal computer drive and my external hard drive don't have anything past may 25/26 except for when i saved an exited today, august 1
