BigRizz1986 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hi guys I really hope you can help me. I have been using the skyrim creation kit for around a month now and have spent so many hours creating my own mod. All was well until I wanted to delete a couple of created places in my cell view. Which I did. However... I then went to load my main player home I was working on and once I viewed it there was not 1 item in my cell view. I am absolutely gutted as I literally put in hours upon hours into creating my mod. The only thing I can think happened was that I accidentally deleted all the items in that cell. Please please please somebody tell me there is a way I can check to see if I have deleted those and please tell me I can restore those. I almost feel like crying as like I said I have spent around 4 weeks creating the mod. I really for the life of me don't want to start again and I really for the life of me don't know what's happened. I really hope I haven't deleted it. PLEASE GUYS PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaunadaur Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That's sad to hear. If you're lucky there's a backup located in your skyrim\backup folder, but no guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRizz1986 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks for the reply I am not sure how to check. I think I found something with a backup but how would I use that. Please explain what I'll need to do. I'm absolutely gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRizz1986 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Like how would I restore it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaunadaur Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The backup would have a file name like YourModName.0.bak. Rename it to YourModName.esp and copy it to the data folder. Then you can load it normally in Creation Kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeybladey Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I was going to say, backups are kept by the CK so you should not have lost everything, but by the time I got a new password set up, NINJA'D! I also keep physical copy of the esp in a separate folder at key stages as incremental backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
