Saves being deleted/overwritten

JAY-CAMAROGIRL-​  There was just an announcement in the Sims Discord that might explain your issue.  Could you have done this?

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.

If so, let me know.  I don't see a bug report about it (other than a new vague one), but I'll ask around.  And in the interim, make sure to save your progress, or better yet, quit and reload when switching saves.

I had something similar happen, I have two save files- one for not so berry challenge, one for the 100 baby challenge . I was playing the 100 baby save file last night and before I got off for the night I exited and saved. When I logged on this morning the 100 baby file had saved onto the not so berry save file , so the sim and house I created for that challenge is gone from that save file. I think I can recover it but  I wanted to post this because that should not have happened.

Yes there is a good chance I did that where I was just testing stuff out. And yes! I just saw it over on the sims official discord. I've been off the game/sims discord since yesterday afternoon. 

Thank you oh so much for the replies and trying to help me (and others) out♡ 

I have autosave turned off for the time being. However, I noticed that the game is autosaving anyways. I have a save file that I've been building up for 4 months, but today I had went into a separate save file to build something else, when I went back to the main menu, autosave had overwritten my 4 month save file somehow and I had lost all of my work. Thankfully I was able to recover a previous save to get my work back. 

I have autosave OFF...soooo what's up EA

On top of this my game has crashed twice in 3 hours. My game never crashes, I have never had issues with this. And before you ask, I only use Better Build Buy and TOOL by TwistedMexi--both are completely up to date. 

Something similar is happening on xbox for me except when i overwrite my save file it deletes it completely when i return to main menu! Also cant save the game and error code shows up! 

I went into a lot today that I know in the last month to 6 weeks, I have done extensive renovations on. The renovations were not there. So I thought ok, maybe the game crashed / didn't save, something must've happened I'll go back through my recover saves, auto saves, and my own backup save of that game.

None of these saves had a version with the lot with renovations, which I was finding very odd as I know I saved it. I then noticed a family whose last name I changed the spelling of just yesterday, was showing up in the recovered saves (from over a month ago) with the new spelling? I then went though every recover save of both my current save and the backup (copy) save of this game and THEY ALL had the family with the new spelling? The 2 specific save games have different sane file names (one being Slot_00000014.save and the other being Slot_00000015.save) yet they now appear to be identical? I am wondering if the new auto save feature is autosaving over all the save files?

puzzlezaddict​ Oh sorry I didn't notice your reply. I did see in another post that maybe this is what happened and I could only maybe see older backup saves. well on my way again now with my new save 9 aspirations done and 7 different jobs to level 10. lol. I will just have to make sure I backup before I start a new save.

puzzlezaddict​ Update. I just logged into my supersim save again and I lost 2 sim days. I will be turning autosave off now and just using mccc autosave until this is fixed.

Commenting again.. now my recent save keeps overwriting to a different one even though I've only been staying in that one😬 I'm saving on my own during gaming and before exiting, as well as I have autosave off. It's becoming very frustrating.
