Hello,
Have a look at the The Sims 3 folder in Documents, is there anything strange about it?

Re: lost save games after installing stff pack
As odd as this is, it also happened to me. I had a backup of my games & mods, so I didn't lose them, but it's like I reset the folder. I did the same things as you down to not having played for a while, only minus the new world. I thought I must have done something wrong, but since it happened to someone else too, I'm wondering where we did something to make our games reset themselves.

It's just a theory, but what I always do before patching and installing expansions is to rename/remove the folder "The Sims 3", because the things inside that folder (savefiles, mods, CC, etc.) can be "modified" during patching - sometimes with bizarre results.
To the topic creator, if there's really nothing there inside your "The Sims 3"-folder, and you don't have a backup, then I'm afraid there's nothing you can do. You might want to try the same as I always do, next time before patching or installing an expansion pack.

Re: lost save games after installing stff pack
I have to admit I'm not sure about that problem; but can you try following the instructions in the following topic ? https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t2208-sims3pack-installed-world-inaccessible-or-wont-install-fixheva2k wrote:yeh ive accpeted i cnat get the saves bk but thats no biggu really and wil have to redwnload all my custom content a dont have any og them either, but what bout the fact midnight hollow has no sims in it other then my fmaily, i havent checked other worlds yet, i vaugly remember someone mention thi after an expansion pack not sure if it was uni?
If you do all of that, it should remove your "Midnight Hollow" world from the game. And after that, of course, you should re-install the world with the launcher. Then start the game, make again a new savegame (just to test) and see if anything changed.
Good luck !

Re: lost save games after installing stff pack
Actually, my family is missing but there is one folder, it says Newton.sims3.backup
The family was originally Newton. There are other files. There seems to be the Newton.sims3 original folder. How can I fix that and get my family back?
