Save Files - Recovery Journey
Sul Sul 💫
The past few weeks have been a rebuilding journey after losing over 200 save files, 4,000+ tray files, and 21,000 mods and CC's (800GB). While most of my game has been recovered, some builds and Sims were lost and will need to be recreated.
The good news is that Skyler's home, restaurant, laundromat, shelters, friends, and family are safe thanks to an older backup save. I've also rebuilt several new locations, including a daycare, a Michelin-style restaurant, a Big Bear vacation rental, and a renovated Shadow Bakery.
Some favorite builds still need to be remade, including the fashion school, tattoo studio, nail salon, pet cemetery, wedding shop, zoo, aquatic park, horse ranches, nightclub, bowling alley, and several family homes.
There's still plenty of work ahead, but Simmivalley is slowly coming back to life, one build at a time. 💜
