Lost almost all content although it should be saved

★★★★ Novice

My game wasn't loading, so I tried to reinstall it. I'd linked my accounts to it, so my progress was saved. In fact, when I did something similar in the past, I was able to load everything I had. However, this time, when I opened the app and finally was able to pick the option that uses my saved progress, it appears to have loaded incorrectly. For instance, even though it kept the three sim slots, only one of them was there. Further more, the house was back to the original layout, and apart for some items, mainly the ones I had in my inventory, everything was gone. My Player ID is 1004691890324.

The best thing at this time is to contact an EA game advisor about this issue @vikgames2001 .

 

 


Due to COVID-19/Corona support is a little different than you're normally used to. Waiting times are also longer.
- Phone support is currently closed.
- Arabic and Dutch support languages aren't available.
- English support times are Mon-Sat from 8 AM to 11 PM UTC

You can contact them through The Sims Mobile app. First things first, write down your Player ID or take a screenshot of it.

- Open side menu

Your browser opens

The EA game advisor might ask you to perform a couple of troubleshooting steps you can find over here for Apple or Android. You can try those before contacting them, or while you're waiting on a reply.

If you're asked to clear data or reinstall the app, make sure your app is being back-upped to the App store or EA account.
The backup options might have turned off during a previous update. Your app will reset, but after creating a Sim you should get the popup to restore from the cloud.

I did that yesterday, I don't think I got any replies yet (or at least I'm not finding them xD)
Right when this happened, I tried to create a post here, but I wasn't able to load the page. Still, I ended up reading I should contact support, and that's what I did.

@ell1002xx From my experience, I'd say:
Contact the support team, as mentioned above - I got a fast reply through Facebook (Messenger), but any method will do;
You'll be asked some questions, try to provide them with the information they ask you for, such as your player ID and which accounts you linked to your game;
Be patient, my game is already on its way to being solved but it hasn't happened yet.
I hope this helps you in any way!

Can you please share how this was fixed. I’ve also lost all sims and items that weren’t in my inventory and spoken to two people so far and they are clueless and said they can’t restore in game inventory
