I’ve been meticulously building a town for 30+ hours. I decided last night to start a new town while waiting for v9.2 since my main town needs the Trading Center request feature to proceed. I played an hour on this new map before saving and quitting. Just now I have loaded up my game and my old town is nowhere to be seen. There are four save files: two autosaves from my new town, and two very old save files from 2023 that I haven’t loaded in ages. I think my main town has been completely overwritten. It’s gone, zip, nada.
But how the heck did this happen? I saved manually before quitting last night but the save file I clicked was that of my new town, I’m sure of it. They had very different names.
How does autosave and new saves work in this game? Do they automatically override the previous town you loaded? I want to make sure this never happens again. I’m beyond annoyed to lose a town that I spent so much time on.
