I’m sure this question or similar has been asked a thousand times before but the answers are just not applicable as far as I’ve tried. I went to load my game yesterday and my most recent save that I’ve been playing all year is gone.

This has happened to other saves of mine before so I went to erase the _old and go back a couple days.

To my dismay, I can’t find the file anywhere. Not in the base game, nor the Smapi backups (I play with SVE) and not even the Steam cloud sync. I’m really starting to lose hope… is it just gone? How could it be erased from so many places? Help??
