Manual Backups
To manually create a backup at any time:
- Open the cheat console by pressing Ctrl+Shift+C

By default, the mod:
- Stores backups in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves_backup
- Keeps up to 3 backups per game version
- Keeps up to 4 different game version backup folders

- Each backup is stored in a folder with the format:[Game Version]/[Date_Time]
- Example: 1_93_263/January_15_2023_14_30
- Game versions use underscores instead of periods for folder compatibility

If you encounter issues:
- Check that script mods are enabled in your game settings
- Verify you have sufficient disk space for backups. Sims 4 games saves can become very large
- Ensure you have write permissions for the backup directory

- Should work with most other mods
- No known conflicts with other save management mods
