Sims 4 saved game got DELETED after updating Origin

★ Novice
Hi all,

I just updated Origin a while ago, it updated Sims 4 in the process too and when I opened it my saved game was gone! I looked at my Sims 4 folder and there was nothing on it too.

Please help. Thanks.

Do you have any software like OneDrive running that might be copying the files to a different location?

Could you search on your computer for the saves folder?

I went to play my game tonight after updating origin and all my Sims data is gone. My saves folder is empty, families and houses I download from the exchange are gone. The game is making me start brand new like the first time I played it. I have no mods. I had this family from day 1. I really don't want to start a new one.... Please tell me there is a solid. Why would an update do this??

Hi @FroznSolo

 

just making sure that this is about Sims 4 ? As the Exchange is for Sims 3.

 

Are you using oneDrive ? If so, did you check if you have a folder there ?

 

Do you mean the local saves folder on your drive is empty or in game ?

Good Luck

Sorry, yes it is sims 4. I meant the gallery., not the exchange.

I do not use one drive, and it is the local saves folder is empty. It's as if the game was reinstalled and overwrote all of the data on my drive.

Reinstalling usually doesn't delete the user files.

 

Can you search your hard drive to see if you have another sims 4 folder somewhere ? Also check your trash.
