Hi @rakoolelle2

 

did you ever make a backup of your files ? Did you check your trash if it maybe got deleted ?

 

The most common cause is that the game starts to use the sims 4 folder in oneDrive instead of your local one. Are you using that ?

 

Do your save still show up on the local folder here: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves ?

@rakoolelle2  Is your computer a pc or mac? OneDrive is on Windows 8 and even Win 7. OneDrive is already in Windows 10 - all you have to do is log in to OneDrive. If your computer is a pc please post the computer's dxdiag - link - how to post the dxdaig    thank you

Hi @rakoolelle2

 

so you don't have a folder in documents\electronicarts\thesims4\ and also no folder on oneDrive ?

 

Can you manually make a folder in Documents or does that also give you an error ?

 

How much disc space do you have left ?

Good Luck

do i just make a new folder or should i name it something

This is just to see if the folder is write-enabled so it can be any name you like. The game should create the folder with all you need but if there's some problem with the folder, it can't.

 

Hence try if you can manually create a folder.
