      Yes

      I lost my TS2 savegame once a long time ago since that day I did a lot of backups for TS2, TS3 and TS4.

      No never. I do some backups time to time and especially before updates but since now I've never lost any save.

      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.

      Yes I have, not only my saves, but my tray file, pics, and Mods/CC!

      Essentially it was 100% user error.

      Thankfully no but I haven't been playing for that long, just less than 2 years

      Yes, I have accidentally deleted saves that I was still going to eventually play. RIP my deleted sims.

      Tes, had to learn the hard way to either take the time to make a backup, or be prepared to be stoic about losses.

      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.

      Neighborhoods would just get corrupted in TS2 and there wasn't anything I could do about it except start all over.
      Doesn't happen in 4 thankfully.
