Baka Achievement loses all save files

[lonestar77x]

So, I have used Creations in the past and wanted to get achievements for the shattered space DLC. I removed all creations mods not realizing it made no difference. I played for a couple weeks like this, unmodded. (Only the official Bethesda Mods)

I installed Baka mod which is recommended by everyone. Once the dependencies were done and the folder junction enabled, i went back to my game and boom.... no save files visible. The Load text in the menu is greyed out.

I followed Bethesda's support suggestions and they haven't worked. I am absolutely gutted... was at level 137... now back to 1.

I uninstalled the mod and dependencies, disabled folder junction, reinstalled Starfield, run it as admin (weird bethesda suggestion)... and nothing. Really disappointed.

Anyone have any solutions at all?

Missing troubleshooting steps

[HeyYou]

Saves are stored in your Documents\My Games\Starfield\Saves folder. Is there anything in there? Do you have steam cloud enabled?

[lonestar77x]

Oh yes. All the saves are still right there, and backed up to the cloud. It's just the game refusing to read the folder. It's happened a couple times before and reinstalling while disabling the mods always fixed it. This mod is the one that has me running out of ideas.

[lonestar77x]

I have found the save files. I also have Steam Cloud saves.

To fix the issue, game had to be uninstalled, any remining files/folders deleted, then the game reinstalled.

Wrong information

[HeyYou]

Installing a mod should NOT cause that..... Vortex shouldn't even be able to do that..... Something else is going on there, but, I have no idea what it would be.
