Thought I'd jinxed myself by answering when my game shut down a couple minutes ago. Forgot to plug in my laptop charger. 😄 Good thing I was just on the home page.
I lost my first Myst save when my computer died. I had a backup, but it wasn’t a recent one. When I got a new computer, instead of using the backup and replaying a whole lot of my game, I just rebooted the world and picked up the story where the first save left off. That also gave me the opportunity to clean up some things I had wanted to work on anyway. I did cheat in skills and relationships to get them back to pre-crash levels. I save more often, now.
i'm a cofounder of the writers lounge. lets put it this way i hold the record for most startovers due to game issues no one over there will ever beat it. according to my best friend here in the community.
Nope! Ive only got my two main saves, but Ive gotten them backed up and I save over them about a couple times a month. Which reminds me! Better save over them while Im thinking of it.
For my Sims 2, I lost quite a few saves, I had to restart it because it got glitched, or got a new computer, so I had to restart it more than once.
For Sims 3, never lost a save file, unless I purposely deleted it for whatever reason. I had more than once save file, but with the one-household limit, it want to remake some families.
For Sims 4, I accidentally saved over one of my save files, which wasn't my intention. I still have the Sims that I used, so I can just recreate it when I want to. Before that, I started playing the game, hated how it was turning out, so I deleted all the save files and Sims I created, and started from scratch.

Doesn't happen in 4 thankfully.
