Missing save/mods folder
I feel like an idiot posting this because it's the easiest solution ever, but when this happened to me I spend 30 minutes freaking out in my documents folder and then online trying to find the answer. Even if I seem dumb I thought if this happened to someone else and they were too freaked out to think of it it would show up in their search quick as a lick. Anyway, if your Electronic Arts folders seems to have reset itself, search your windows for the folder. If you (or your mother who needed to print something like myself) accidentally moved it, the game will just rewrite the whole thing. I found my whole Electronic Arts folder in my My Music folder completely intact.
I still feel like a dummy... first post please spare me.
