Nope

Not unless you have backed up your saves which is what I do. Don't feel too bad, you'll recover quicker than you think.

You need to download the Cher mod so you can turn back time!

How did you do that??? The daily status report should have kept you from going any further!!!

Hmm...Maybe that day, he start off from the bed without playing or shipping anything, so there won't be any daily status report. Then he passed out. Game saved. Then the new day beginning, then loop.

Just restart, you'll enjoy it.

You won't be able to get your crops etc back (at least, not easily), but you could 'go back' to the start of the season?

It's a bit cheaty, but hey ho. :)

Warning: this could break stuff. You probably should backup your save as it is, just in case. Do this at your own peril. If you don't like peril, I suggest not doing this.

To go back to the start of the season:
1. Find your save file (mine is at C:\Users\Noddon\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves\Noddon_11885944\Noddon_11885944) and open it in a decent text editor
2. Find the text <dayOfMonth>, edit the number between the tags back to 1, and save
3. I suppose you might also find <currentSeason>, and change it spring or whatever, though I've not tried this personally.

So either download a mod, or restart everything, great, looks like im gonna be at a 4000 gold loss because of my crops

While this does work beautifully, it doesn't undo the things that have already happened, it can only change the date displayed. I bought and planted 375 strawberries and wanted to go back a few days to undo my purchase, but even after resetting to day 12, I still woke up to 375 strawberry seeds that need manual watering

You understand that this is a 2016 thread, right?

The game has had a whole lot of changes since that time, I'm honestly surprised you didn't just completely corrupt your save file. Assuming that any info that's that old is still viable is a fairly substantial risk (to you) for a game that gets as many updates as this one does.

Here on Steam, it's always better to start a new thread than to bump an old one.
