I went to open one of my saves on the sims 4 to see it had been deleted but it was replaced to an exact copy of one of my other saves. I decided to go and play that save for a bit and when I went off...

Saves being deleted/overwritten

I went to play my supersim today and found the last save was from 5 days ago, meaning I lost 5 days of play and my sim is no longer a supersim. I have never had a problem with my saved games before this. 7 aspirations gone. 5 different jobs top level gone. all the skills he learned gone. the last save was for the 15th but I last saved on the 19th so their are no saves to recover from later. I know the save was fine as it was loading ok up until the 19th. I do play with a few mods but they are all up to date. As this was a mod household it have 12 occupants so testing with no mods is a no no. How would 5 days of saves just disappear? I have video to prove this. and no I don't use cloud services.

billblogs There was just an announcement in the Sims Discord that said, among other things:
Additionally, we're investigating a issue where manual saves can inadvertently override each other during a very specific flow. If you open a save file, make changes, and exit to the main menu without saving, and then load an autosave - choosing "Save and exit" from that autosave will override your latest save instead of the original one.
Is it possible this is what happened to you? I can't tell from your description. And I can't find a bug report about it either (well, one new one that isn't all that specific), but I'll ask around tomorrow if you're interested. Let me know if you think this might explain your issue.
