Lost hours upon hours of work. Maybe someone can help but probably not.

Pretty much as the title says. I spent tens of hours on this one house for my partner and I to use in our own games, placing each item just so, making the largest house I have ever made and I think I just lost probably 2/3 of the house decor. I don't know why I wasn't saving even every night but I just left my computer running it because reloading the game every time is a hassle and thought everything was fine but now I just lost about 3 days worth of progress. I feel like crying and I know its just a game but it's still something I put a lot of time and effort into doing and it will take even longer to remember just how I put every little thing. If anyone knows how to restore it somehow please let me know. It's actually insane that the Sims 4 has been out for so many years and yet does not have any type of auto save. Nearly every other game I play has it so I figured I would maybe lose an hour of work at most but nope. Anyway, gonna go cry myself to sleep and maybe try to start again tomorrow. Goodnight.

Why does knocking this wall down destroy my pond??

I've been building for quite a while now and I feel like I've got a pretty good hang of it but this has stumped me. I use bb.moveobjects for all my builds and everything was going fine but then I tried to edit the shape of this room and for some ungodly reason my pond shoots up earth spikes when trying to knock down this small section of wall?? Really hoping someone has a solution for this that doesn't involve redoing this whole pond because I spent so long on it...

Update! I (mostly) fixed it! With help from some members of this community, I figured out a solution! I had been going back and forth between different methods and basically trying to do damage control and what I landed on was turning bb.moveobjects back on, making a new "room" within the backyard "room" (this is what was causing the issue) and then removing the little bit of wall. The only thing that gets damaged in this method is the water seemingly evaporates so I will unfortunately have to painstakingly refill the pond but at least it didn't ruin my landscaping/terraforming! 😌 thanks everyone for all your help! 🩵
