Abramul Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 How'd you manage to actually *lose* them? Did your hard drive reformat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Backups... Always make backups... Of everything. You don't want to know howmany backups I had of my mod for example. One in a special folder, one on a USB stick... Plus one uploaded somewhere on the internet (not avaiable to public of course :P). Yes I can be quite paranoid sometimes, especially when it comes to mods. Keep a backup on a USB for example (so it won't be gone when your computer explodes) Mods could be a problem if you use many texture replacers, but you can always open notepad and copy/paste all the links to those, so the mods are easy to find. And I'd like to ask the same question Abramul did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malchik Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I weep for you. Now send $5 to the .... Yeah, well, it happens. Life can be a piece of cake or a piece of (fill in suitable four letter word). We are however talking of a game here and in all honesty, in the scheme of things, it doesn't make a fig's difference. Now if you had lost a life time's written work, or all your course work or all your research I would weep for you. As it is, you have the fun of doing all those quests over again. Better still - get Morrowind! Graphics apart, it has a much higher replay factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adras Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I just reformatted not long ago and I had to decide which games to save the save files for, I burned ALL of my 10+ gigs of music onto CD's and DVD's (only had 3 DVD's), plus my 7ish gigs of videos. It took a very long time, but the first thing I was sure to do was to save my mod somewhere safe. Right now I have it saved on both of my computers, in my Yahoo Mail (as an attachment) and on my website. Plus the few people who are helping me on my mod both have a version. I think my mod is pretty safe. However I ended up losing over 1 gig of my music somehow. Anyways, what I suggest is to upload you save game file somewhere or keep it on a flash drive. I have a couple of my save games saved around. I sympathise because I had a similar experince. I put all of my important items (Nocturnal's Gray Cowel, Skeleton Key, and a few others) in a chest, not thinking about the fact that the chests might reset after time. I was not thrilled to say the least. The best you can do is restart or just start playing Morrowind again like Malchik said. Its what I did.

tigershark13 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 I was lucky with my CW i put it all on my pen drive the night before it crashed. cause i had to print a load of it off so that was close. anyway i am thinking of buying morrowind but still not sure. for some reason o play.com it is actually more expensive than what i got oblivion for. so if i see it in town i will probally get it.
