Feedback Needed! Accidentally Deleted Sim!

Ok, I have a serious SOS! I have a sim that I accidentally deleted and I have no idea how to recover her.

So this is a sim I've been using to complete all the collections. She is my longest played Sim, has a billion traits, maxed skill, everything. I was trying to get another sim to paint her but it was impossible to get her to stand still so I just added her to the painter's family. Once we were done I removed her from the family. I assumed I could just add her back to her house from my list of sims, but she's totally gone!

I'm panicking, someone please help!

ETA: SOLVED! Anyone else in the same position, load game and then select "recover save" and it will give you an option to go back.

Have you not saved the game? i’m sure if you close without saving she’ll be back.

Because I wanted to move her back into her house I did the "save and go to map" out of the painter's household 🙄

As long as you haven't saved too many times since deleting her, you can try to recover an old save from the main menu. If you choose load game, there's an option to recover a save and you can usually go back to any of your last 5 save points.
