Ah, The Sims 4! So much life, so many stories! But what happens when your Sim's hard-earned fortune vanishes? Or your painstakingly decorated mansion is gone? The answer lies in understanding your Sims 4 save files!
Your save files are like snapshots of your Sims universe. They hold everything - your Sims, their relationships, their homes, and their progress. Understanding where they are and how to manage them is crucial for any serious Simmer.
Typically, you'll find your save files in your Documents folder, under Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves. You'll see a bunch of files named 'Slot_0000000*.save'. These are your precious saves! Remember to back them up regularly, especially before major game updates or installing mods. This simple act can save you hours of heartache.
Corrupted save? No problem! The Sims 4 automatically creates backups! Look for files ending in '.save.ver[number]' in the same 'saves' folder. You can restore these by simply removing the '.ver[number]' from the filename.
Mastering your Sims 4 save files gives you ultimate control over your Sims' destinies. Happy Simming!
