So last night I went to ply sims and I realized that under the play button there were no other options "New game" or "Load game". All I can do is press play and it brings up the last sim I created in the select a household screen. All my saves are gone. 1247 hours worth of saves just vanished into oblivion. I then looked in the files of the game and all my save files are there along with all my custom content working and all my screenshots still there but my saves dont actually show up in the game itself. I am absolutely devastated. I cried for a good twenty minutes until I just went to bed cause I was so p'd off and upset.
Is there anyway to fix this. Please please PLEASE help!

Doing what is in the link that Luthien posted should help to fix your issues.
I am so sorry that this occured in your game. It is upsetting when things like this occur. I send a hug to you

Awesome! It's a current bug, and the workaround worked
Hello
What you have done has fixed up the issue Try going back to the main screen and see if the load and new game buttons are there now.

Hello @GalacticGal
I am just checking with you that there are no save files at all in your documents -electronic arts-sims 4 folder ( apart from the one created today ) ? The simmers in this thread still have their save files in the saves folder.

I am so sorry It would be very upsetting for you. It would be best to make back up copies of your saves and tray folders and place them on an external drive.. If issues occur, then you will still have those save files to use.

I did indeed fix my problem so thank you guys for helping. Also thank you @luthienrising for the link.
Did this bug occur because of a recent update? I remember origin updating before I played, but now that I think about it, I don't know if was origin updating or the game itself. I just remember origin popping up and something updating.
Also @rosemow you said it would be a good idea to back up the saves and tray folders. What are tray folders? I have heard of them but I don't exactly know what they are.

Hello @zuzumax2
The tray folder contains the files of the households and builds that you have saved to your library. It is located in documents-electronic arts -sims 4 -tray folder. This is a link to a guide that explains user files,

Hello
Are there no save game files in your saves folder? If there isn't, and if you use One Drive, see if the saves are there.
