omgyamisocringe You can disable Steam's cloud saving either globally or for a particular game:

I wasn't aware until recently that Steam even supported cloud saving for Sims 4, and I can see how it might not be the best idea to use it. But as always, your best bet is to make manual backups of your saves, preferably on an external device that's not plugged into your computer most of the time. That way, you can always restore your data no matter why it disappears.
Understandable. I just found it weird that it even made it's way inside my folder, considering that I never once intentionally used the cloud feature and didn't think much of it when it became known. Like, of the other videos with tutorials on how to manually set that up, I never did, so I'm not sure how I got cursed with this 😅. And with the unfortunate news that I can't even avoid it harming my saves as of yet is quite scary, but yeah, I get it.
