fadeother Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Perhaps someone on this site can help me, i accidentally wrote over a save in Skyrim. I no longer have the autosaves either, but these are still in my folder as bak. files. Is there someway to convert these to ess so the game can read it? This way i could still recover my character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Hhhhmmm.... There *should* be documentation somewhere on what the .bak files are good for..... Maybe on silverlock.org?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can find very little on it tbh. I think the issue is that the script extender saves arent backed up, which would break the mods baked into the saves. Seems ive lost this character, thanks for trying to help anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Ouch..... I save a LOT, and rarely clear out my saves folder...... For a long-running game, there can be a couple hundred. Drive space is cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndalayBay Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Only a couple hundred?! I'm up to save #4926 on my long running game. I have a backup folder that I move my saves to so there are only 300 or so in the saved game folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
