Sheldrake Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Ohai everyone! So last night while playing Skyrim, I decided to switch from my main save to another one to play with the console commands a bit. When I was done, I deleted the save I was on, and instead of loading my main one, I saved over it. My initial reaction was horror, and several curse words. I then collected myself and did a System Restore to a couple days ago, but there was no change. Is there a way to recover my save, or am I screwed? Thanks,Sheldrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werne Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 You're screwed :thumbsup:. There is no way to recover a save after you overwrite it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldrake Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 That sucks...that really sucks :/ Well, thanks. I suppose I'll start over once more...when I feel motivated to...this kind of puts me off the game for awhile :/ - Sheldrake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted81892User Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 if you are running on Windows 7, you can right click on your save folder and restore a previous version of it, a list to choose from should (hopefully) show up...... this may work for you.you can copy the saves you want before doing it.i dont remember if other versions of windows have this option.

CNash Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Have you played enough afterwords that it overwrote your autosaves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldrake Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 mouse: That did the trick. I lost about a day's work, but at least I don't have to start over. Thanks so much! :D CNash: I disabled autosaves for some reason that I have now forgotten, but I think I'll renable them and start doing regular backups... :S Issue is now solved, could a mod close this thread, please?
