Greeting!!!

 

It seems like you may have lost game extension associations. When you renamed the files, by name changing, did you leave off the .ESS extension? Without that, even though the game save could be valid, the game itself will not associate it with the save game loader. Also, make sure the saves are in the proper path for the game to find them. Normally it would be : \Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves

When you say 're-named folder' do you have your saves folder named correctly and in this directory:

 

Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves\(save games in here)

 

*opps, I didn't fully read the post by Brandy_123. They already explained the folder structure. Sorry about the redundancy*

Lets start at block 1. If you purchased the game, you should be able to make some progress following these guidelines...

 

Follow these steps. If your game is a legal copy, this should fix your problem or at least isolate it to corrupted saves.

 

1: run the game.

2 : start a new character.

3 : once you get past the character creation, save the game.

4 : Then exit the game. (we will try and load the file you just saved)

5 : Then run the game (through NMM or through steam)

6 : Load the save game you just saved. (if everything to this point works, your old game files are probably just corrupted)

7 : If the save game you just did is not there or does not load, you need to uninstall the game and reload your purchased copy through steam.

 

That should take care of some of these strange problems you are having.

Let's just say....(thinking ahead abit xD) I did the above as u stated...and it does not load....and I uninstall and reload...where would b my Old Saves now? or r they gone forever? Or perhaps, I do as another Poster stated--make a copy of Saves--delete the Save Folder and the .Ini-----create a new toon and let the Game install a new save Folder--put the copy in that Folder. That worked for some but not for others, so I don't know which option is best. Thnx for ur continued support. Edited by Kyrenjai
