Sims4 not loading correct game

Hi guys ! So I’ve been playing on the sims 4 for the past 3 days each time picking up from when I last saved it, however when I went to play on it last night my game play has completely vanished and it’s now loading a previous game from 2020, I’ve checked on my EA documents file and I can see in my saved files that there are saves from the past three days in there but for some reason they aren’t loading in the game ? Any ideas on how to fix this problem ? Thanks !

    I’m also having this problem but it still won’t work I’ve tried everything ! This is what my files look like. 

  • @eveharris1  It sounds like the game may now be reading a different folder from the one that contains your saves.  To check, first find the full path to the user folder as the game reports it.  Here's how:

    https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-user-folder/

    Right-click one of your saves and select Properties > General.  The Location needs to match what you see in-game, at least as far as "The Sims 4."  If it doesn't, that's the issue, and the fix is to move the saves to the folder the game is using.

    If the file paths match, or you want Sims 4 to go back to reading the old folder, or you need more help in general, please post both file paths here.

    Edit:  Now that I've seen your screenshot (which I merged with your other thread to keep everything together, I do spot a couple of issues that need to be addressed.  But I also see at least one recent save that should be loading, so the file location is at least part of the problem.
