About a month ago I deleted a game on the Sims 3. Now I want it back... anyone know how to restore a deleted game?

Check your recycle bin. If it's not there, then I'm afraid it's probably gone, especially as it was deleted so long ago. :/

had you played this saved game for awhile? possible that you have a older saved backup? otherwise, I'd have to agree with nysha, you probably lost that one.

I know... it's not in my recycle bin, its a backup folder. But how do I get it back in the game? Right now its just a folder.

Well, you can try renaming the folder from whatever.backup to whatever.sims3.

This worked for me, I was going through files bc my game kept crashing, deleting caches, uninstalling mods that I no longer use, etc. etc. when I deleted a saved game I THOUGHT I stopped playing only to find it was my main sim Renaming the backup worked for me!
