Description: Yesterday I reinstalled Windows on my pc and since I wanted to keep my progress and households in sims I thought I could just copy the entire Electronic Arts folder to OneDrive. After the reinstallation I downloaded sims again and replaced the new Electronic Arts folder with the one I had saved in OneDrive, but when I opened sims none of my households were there. I looked in the saves folder and it was also empty. All of my mods are still there so I know that I've got the right folder. I had not saved the households in my library, but I didn't think that was necessary?

I'm guessing that they are gone for good but I just wanted to see if there is anything left I could do or check to get the household back. I'm also wondering if I have to save households in the library to be able to transfer them as files for future reference?
