How to Recover a Save (Sims 4)

Updated January 16, 2022 to reflect the most recent menus.

Sometimes we need to recover to a prior version of our save, and Sims 4 keeps up to 5 copies (if the save is old enough to have five of them) that we can easily recover from them. Here’s a quick summary of how you do that.

Step 1:

Open your game and choose the option to ‘load game’

Step 2:

From the load game menu, chose the save you want to recover a back up from (ie roll back your game) and chose the option ‘Recover Save’ to the left hand side of the delete button as indicated here.

Step 3:

Once you chose the option ‘recover save’ it will bring up something that looks like this; choose the save you want to recover from the ones showing and use the ‘recover’ option.  I usually decide based on the date and time saved.
