Re: Does game progress get saved to origin? Sadly the Sims 4 does not have could save, you have to move the files to your new computer or sync them via onedrive. You can usually find your saves in here: C:UsersUsernameDocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims 4 to your Desktop and start the game.
Find your save files at Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 > Saves. You will see a long list of files with names like Slot_000000012. save or Slot_000000012. save.
Windows
- Go to My Documents.
- Open the Electronic Arts folder.
- Find The Sims 4 folder.
- Right-click on it and choose Copy.
- Go to your Desktop.
- Right-click on a free space and choose Paste.
- Right-click on the copied folder and choose Rename.
- Change the name of the folder to something you'll remember, like Sims 4 Backup.
The Sims 4 does not use cloud saves. You have to copy back and forth, Origin does not save any progress.

After Windows 10 upgrade, certain files might be missing from your computer, however, in most cases they are just moved to a different folder. Users report that most of their missing files and folders can be found at This PC > Local Disk (C) > Users > User Name > Documents or This PC > Local Disk (C) > Users > Public.
