I need help with my savefile

[Styrmir]

Okay so I was playing my save yesterday and then I saved like always. Now when I was going to play it today it’s as if it never existed! I checked Content Manager and my save isn’t there, so I check AppData and it is there! However, I have no idea how to retrieve it. Can anyone help me?

Did you save it onto the cloud? Keep in mind the cloud is not too reliable.

Make sure you save always a new save with Cityxx.
Meaning City is your cityname, xx is a continues number from 00-99

That would look like mycity01, mycity02, ....

Every time I load a city I make instantly a new save. If something happened I can always go back. I do as well multiple saves during the game, e.g. when I changed a whole area.

You can use F1 for a quicksave with timestamp.

If you can't find the file in the saved folder in appdata, I have to tell you that you probably have overwritten your save.

When the game doesn't see the save file despite it being in the folder, it usually means the file got corrupted. It's fairly rare but it can happen (and sucks!). Best thing is to do like snowflitzer describes and always save as a new file, so you have the older versions in case something goes wrong.

Do you perhaps have an autosave of the city that you could use instead? You might lose a bit of progress ofc, but that's better than losing the entire city.
