This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Seasons, Island Paradise, Into the Future
Default Saves randomly disappear?
Ok, so basically after I save the game and quit, the saves are gone that I had. This happens very rarely, but frequent enough that it makes me mad. After that, When I make a new save and family, the tutorial when you first open the game is there, even though I've played the game before. Please help, this problem has been happening frequently.

What operating system are you running? Do you have One drive turned on?

Yes, I think I have one drive on. I have Windows 10 and an Intel Core i5. Edit: Actually I don't think I have it on. How do I check?

I believe Windows 10 has it turned on by default. After all, everyone wants to keep their important files on Microsoft's servers, right?

Click your File Explorer icon on the bottom taskbar. You should see an entry for One Drive. Check the "date modified" entry for the folders it shows. If the Documents folder shows a date modified that corresponds to a day that you played the Sims and had your saved games go missing, you are probably encountering the glitch where the game got confused about which Documents folder it's supposed to be using. (If you spot a Sims 3 folder in the One Drive Documents, it's definitely that glitch.) Copy the Sims 3 folder from One Drive Documents to your hard drive Documents, and then be sure that One Drive is turned off before playing the Sims.
