I always make myself a base save that is mod/cc free but it’s up to you what you want to do. If you want one that isn’t, drag those things things back into your Sims 4 folder (not the original “Saves Folder” though, that will not be put back). If you want one clean, then leave your mods folder where you placed it. Finally, launch your game to generate an all new and sparkly clean Sims 4 folder.Īt this point, decide if you want a base save that is completely clean of everything or if you want one that has mods/CC in it. Once you have done all that, go to Origin and click on repair game. As long as you took the steps I outlined above (copied your saves, moved your mods, tray, and screenshots then you have nothing to worry about and it’s all safe). You are making a clean save so once you are done, delete your Sims 4 folder. Next drag your mods, tray, and screenshots somewhere safe because they need to be out of there. It’s tedious but super easy, so hang in there.ĭelete everything in your saves folder, do it! You did save everything like I told you, right? So don’t worry and just delete it all. Now that you have set things up and copy/pasted your original “Saves Folder” to this safe place, you are ready to start organizing. Date (or number I actually have mine like so, WB Pop 1, WB Pop 2, and so on) Date (or number I actually have mine like so, WB Unpop 1, WB Unpop 2, and so on) –Unpopulated (this is for you builders out there) –Base Saves (this is what you are about to make and I have tons of them since I’m always redoing things) –Original (stick all of your stuff in here that you just copied)

If you have read any of my other tutorials, you will know how big I am on keeping things organized. Then you will copy/paste all of this into a folder somewhere else on your computer. Next you will select everything in that folder (including the scratch folder … more on that later).

Open your “Saves Folder” located in your Sims 4 folder in your documents. Keeping your “Saves Folder” tidy will help prevent this from happening. So, why is it important to back up your saves and have them neatly organized? Have you ever had a save become corrupted? Have you ever had a save inexplicably vanish? Then you have experienced the heart wrenching pain of losing a favorite Sim (and their family). I suggest printing this out because I got very wordy in my attempt to make sure I explained all the steps completely. Hey guys! Today I wanted to talk about how I like to keep my “Saves Folder” nice and tidy.
