Will my saves be deleted?

When I enter the game after the latest update, the one with senarios. The game tells me all my saves will be deleted, It is like an extra button on the main meny beside all the buttons on the right of the screen, and I can only click on new game or load game. But in the load menu I see my saves but there it also says they will be canceled or deleted. Why is this? Could it be a mod or cc? I Dont want to loose the saves. Please help me!

  • @LirraFlirra  Your saves should absolutely not be deleted when using scenarios.  I'm actually curious what message you're seeing; if you could post a screenshot, that would be helpful.

    Regardless, you can back up your saves on your own if you want, and it's a really good idea to do so periodically whether or not Sims 4 is giving you any weird errors.  If you open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4, you'll see a saves folder.  If you right-click that folder and select Copy, you can right-click elsewhere and select Paste, and you'll have a second copy of the folder in case you need it later.  It's safest over the long term to store an extra copy on an external drive or USB stick, but for temporary troubleshooting, copying the folder to your desktop works fine.
