sooooo... I think I'm dumb because I don't really understand this process. I just read a thread from 2014 that used this method. they did exactly what I just did: accidentally deleted a game when they meant to delete a different one. they used this process and it worked for them, but it's not working for me and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. naturally I backed up my folder to the desktop to make sure that, if I mess up, it wouldn't be the end of the world, but gah, I feel so dumb! please tell me I'm not totally doomed. >_<

Hello @Reitanna
I am sorry You are unable to recover a save if you accidentally deleted it

If you have another save game that is earlier version of the save game , you could play that save game. Or if you have made a back up copy of your saves folder that contained a copy of the save game , you could use the save game from there.

@rosemow nope, I actually deleted it. I mean, in my saves folder, I have Slot_0000000c.save and its versions, but then I have Slot_00000001.save and it's versions, but those are dated from may. if I try to follow this method, all I end up being able to recover are versions of my MAIN save, which I am SO glad I was at least smart enough to not delete that one.

I have located my save files, but don't know how to apply them to my game. When I right click and select restore, nothing happens. Please help, have lost two years of game content overnight.

Hello @Jasmine99
There has been a new way included in a patch this year, to recover an earlier version of your current save game to play, To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version. A new save game file will have been created.

None of this has worked and it’s really upsetting. I’ll try get my brother to try fix it since he normally does that for me because my game just keeps breaking but I’m scared I’ve ruined it all and won’t be able to go back since I’ve changed 2 file names already. I don’t really understand it all like why does it have to be all so confusing but I’m scared to accidentally go back too far
