Need to recover overwritten save

Recommended Posts

I by mistake overwrote my main file save when I made a new one and I think I found a mod that was an overhaul that made it so it had extra settings & i think it did have somethig that duplicated saves or kept older 1s or something like that but i forgot what its called. Does anyone no the name of the mod or something familiar, please help me

I know two "mods" that deal with savegames, although I'm not sure any of these does what you mentioned.

 

The first one is "CASM:NV" - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36730

The second one is "Auto Incremental Save" - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39217

 

However, unless you had something like that installed before this happened, there's no way you could recover an overwritten savegame (none that I know about, at least). It could help the same from happening again, though...

Only the autosave creates a backup by default. The backed-up file is named autosave.fos.bak and can be found in your FalloutNV Saves folder. If it's anterior to the "incident", it could help you go back in your progress a bit.

 

Edit: Found some other. Some are external backup tools, others seem to be modifications of others in the list. Anyway, here they are:

The actual answer to your question is: No, you can not recover a save that you have overwritten. All you can do is use a util/mod to prevent the likeliness that you do it again.

Theres an old saying among older RPG players, save now, save often. Always make new saves, and never overwrite any.
