Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. updating to latest version of TS4

After playing on the latest update i didn't notice that i was suffering from the rapid aging glitch and saved. After deleting my most recent save, none of my files would show up in-game. and i can't recover the deleted save. no matter what older saves are in the saves folder, none of them show up in game and i don't have a backup of my save game because i put it off over and over, and planed too this week but was unable due to this bug.

Those are all backups. Remove the .Ver so the file only ends in .save and it should load. Would be more helpful to have a screenshot showing a simple list view of the saves folder.

@crabbyblonde it didn't upload the second screenshot, but it showed that my most recently played saves were missing but the ones i haven't touched in weeks or months stayed.

Thank you it's working now, but is this something new? i never had to do this before when removing corrupted saves.

No, you can restore any backup by removing the .Ver bit.
