Hi everyone,

Today I run the computer and when I double click the game, nothing happened. I have game pass membership so I run Xbox, and I couldn’t find the game in my library. Now I have to download 150gb+ again and have no idea why this happened. Any ideas?

I didn’t download any mode or any addon recently, I play the game very often and have no problem regarding the specs of my computer…

Please any advice would be nice…

Wel you’re not alone in that, after yesterday’s update my sim disappeared in to thin air. Every item on my C drive ( windowsapps, everything in Appdata) was gone. Luckely all my stuff on the drive with the Community folder and the Official folder. So reinstalling did not take to long.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

It’s just gone. Completely uninstalled itself. Nothing to reproduce.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

I played it last week, and all was well. Turned on the PC a couple days ago, and the game is completely gone. All 160GB. Gone. This was the MS Store install. I have since run antivirus scans and malware scans. Nothing was found. System is otherwise healthy. Never has an app done this to me before in 35 years of using Windows. Yes, not even when Windows came on 5.25" floppies.

I"ve since been able to reinstall it just fine from the store, and my flight logs are still there luckily. So either those are stored somewhere I couldn’t find, or MS stores them.
