Trouble with The Sims 4 save recovery?

★★★ Newbie

Hi,

I would like to play a Sims 4 game that I had previously saved, however when I copy it into my Electronic Arts folder (as shown in this article https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-4/backing-up-and-resetting-the-sims-4/), and load up the game, it overwrites it and starts new. I opened up the save folder that I was using and it looks like this ( see picture attached). I'm not sure what this means and if it can be fixed. Thanks for your help.

That looks weird.

Could you post the exact path of the folder you're looking at ?

This is for PC, right ?

The save file was originally from a Mac, at Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Origin/Local Content/The Sims 4. I also looked through all of my backups (all the way back to 2016) and on the machine itself, they all look like this.

Turns out I was looking in the wrong place, I should learn to read articles fully. I've got the save file now.
