My saves are gone?
Can someone please help me? I spent five days working on a map on Garry's Mod. I worked countless hours. And after every hour, I saved. Well, I finally check my saved spots and it tells me it has not a single save. Please help me, I will give credit to the best response in the description of the map.

Have you tried looking in C:\HammerAutosave?

The game's save/dupe directory (where it stores them) may have been changed with an update without updating the folder where the game searches for them.

Here are some steps to follow:
  • Find where your steam folder is located.
  • Go into steamapps
  • Go to common
  • Go to GarrysMod
  • Go to garrysmod
  • Go to saves
  • Try to find your selected save

  • ~If you found your save:
  • Copy the JPG, and GMS files and save them to the desktop
  • Delete the selected GMS, and JPG files from the folder
  • Run GarrysMod, enter a random singleplayer map
  • Close GarrysMod
  • Drag in your JPG and GMS files from the desktop back into the folder.
  • Run GarrysMod.
  • Your save should be there.

  • ~If you didn't find your save:
  • Try checking the steam cloud save folder
  • Or try to find your autosave in the garrysmod autosave folder
  • If you cannot find the save you may have to remake the level :/

I hope it works out.

I can't find steam apps or my steam folder, I have searched through my entire library, thanks for the help anyways.

The steam folder should be in your C: drive in your computer

The directory will not be located in C:. It will be located in C:\Program Files (x86) on 64bit Windows Systems.
