Where are my saves??

[Liandera]

So, the wood frame issue killed my 3 story house contract because the cladding wouldn't work on the old server, and when I tried switching back to the new server I couldn't put in the window top screws. So I thought I would go back to before I bought all of the materials, change the plan to something simpler just to get the contract overwith, and rebuild. I went to load an earlier save and on the load screen, all of my saves between Feb 22 - March 1 are missing. The first one on March one is after purchasing all of the materials and I can use that, but if I simplify my design I won't need half of the stuff I bought, so i wanted to go back to the last save on Feb 28. Where did my saves go?? Does anyone know how I can fix this? Some are autosaves but I always manually create a save every time I quit as well.

Hello, I hope you're having a great day! Were you able to find your save files? If not, you can try this:

To find your save files, you can copy this:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\ContractVille\Saved\SaveGames
Then paste it in the File Explorer. Press enter and the folder with your save files should be opened.

Thanks. I couldn't so I just had to deal with having a lot of extra materials haha. But that is good to know for the future.

The weird thing is that I just checked that folder, and it has feb 23 saves but other than that, they start at Mar 1 again. I played this daily last week and I have autosaves on (plus I manually make a new save whenever I quit) so it has somehow lost quite a few saves and that makes me nervous for the future.

Could you have accidentally saved over your other saves? Also, auto-saves are stored as a single file and continuously overwrite the same save, keeping only one save at a time.

shouldn't THE GAME find his save files where they should be existing when he goes to load them? why is he looking for them?

If the game is not finding them they have been removed.
