the load game option is gone form the homescreen

i really hope its not all gone I've spent too long on this game

  • Try closing the game fully, move the saves folder out of the EA folder to your desktop. Then start the game.
    The game will create a new saves folder.
    Close the game again, and put one of the save files in the new save folder (make sure it's not slot_00000001.save, because that's the auto-save).
    Check if that save file will show up in game.

  • Do you have any files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\saves?

    If not, do you have anything like OneDrive that might be copying those files to the cloud?
