HELP!

[RobynGraves]

I really have no Idea what I did wrong. I was editing a race mod that I had created. The mod itself had worked just fine before I did the edit. The only thing I edited was some of the text in the race description. I went to go add some more Data, i.e. File/Data in the construction set, I never changed the active file. CS asked me if I wanted to save my active file, I clicked yes, which I found kindof odd since I had already saved it before going into the data screen. I couldn't get out of the data screen so I hit cancel on the save and cancel on the data. Now for some reason, I can't pull the Data file up in CS anymore and It shows as an invalid file in the data files menue when opening oblivion. This has happened once before and I had to compleetely re-do the mod, which needless to say I don't want to do because I spent a lot of time on it and already created a character with it.

If you want to save your edits, you have to save before you select other esm/esps (File/Data). Cancelling out during a save is most likely what correpted your esp. But you made a backup of your race mod before you started editing, didn't you?

That's the thing, I saved it BEFORE I went to add more data. And no, of course I didn't backup. Why? because apparently I haven't learned my lesson yet. I have backups for everyother mod I downloaded and the origional, unmodded data file, just not the one I was working on. Ok so there is no saving it I just have to re-make the mod. Ugh. It's not hard to do since the .dds files weren't whiped out or anything, just kinda annoying.

 

Thanks for the help.

Lessons learned the hard way tend to teach the most. :)
