sims 3 game keeps disappearing

Ok I have had a problem with the game I play the game and go to save it, it saves and then when I go to play my game later it's not there I've lost a total of five games after saving, what is going on why does it do this and is there a way to find my lost games cause I was really far into it and I had all my sims maxed on there skills. And my computer is more than compatible to handle everything that the game requires. Please help

triplets or twins.

get your pregnant sim to eat an apple- and her child will be a boy. Eat two apples- they will be boy twins. Eat three- you get triplets; same thing to give birth to girls but eat watermelon instead.

Dear Guest Hey =)

You can get the fertility treatment available in the rewards mode thing and use it! One or both parents must have it! (One parent works although two is better!)

Easy Death with Cheat

In order to kill a sim, you need to ctrl-shift-c to the cheat box. Then type testingcheatsenabled and then testingcheatsenabled true . Then click on the sim (the one you want dead) and it will come up with an option saying 'trigger age transition'. click this, and then your sim will grow older. Then click on the same sim, and click 'trigger age transition'. Once our sim is an elder, then you can do it once more, and they will die. You can start this at any age. PS: Can people use proper sentences, or are they too time consuming?
