Somebody please help me!

Please will someone help me! I killed the game earlier (while it was saving - it was taking too long and I couldn't afford to waste time) because I had to go somewhere and I wanted to have the new patch 1.39 download while I was out.  When I came back to that save (right now) I found myself in Egypt where I had been on holiday. However the game told me to pick a household and so I did. However now I returned home because it showed that these sims were long overdue they're allocated stay and I didn't know what happened to my other sims.

 

When I returned home all my sims were there (plus the ones that I'd had to pick in Egypt) except for the one I sent on holiday! It appeared that he had died. All my sims were mourning for him (except for his son who is a toddler) and his wife was shown as single!

 

Will someone please, please, please help me??!!!!!!!!

It's never a good idea to turn off a game while saving. Don't think there's much you can do except load a backup if you have one.

Thanks so much for replying! Well I know that it's never a good idea to kill the game (or anything for that matter) but I was seriously in a rush. I'll load the backup now - you just move the other save out and get  rid of the word "backup" in the backup save. Is that how you do it?

 

Thanks so much for replying!! :catvery-happy:

Yes, that's how you do it.

 

You'll loose some progress but I think it's better than nothing.

You are the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your idea worked. (Using the backup)

 

Seeing as I already gave you XP for just replying and I can't give you anymore I'm just giving you random XP on another one of your posts. 

 

Thanks so much Crinrict. Don't know what the Answer HQ would do without you....
