I exited the game, subscribed to the mod, then re-opened the game. It wasn't listed anywhere in the mods settings.

You saved me about 10 hours after 2 days of saves went missing (despite regular saves under different names), thank you my G.

Saved me from losing hundreds of hours of playtime in my save, thanks a billion!

OMG you saved my life !! Thx

I've had this mod work in the past, but this time I'm getting an error saying Simulation Failed: File format version not supported. Not sure if theres anything I can do about this or if the save is lost.
I found the ccs file in the temp fold and the same file name but as a crp file in the regular saves file

Thanks man for saving my save, my city crashed in the savegame and I couldn't access it through the menu, somehow the save in the Steam Cloud bugged and it doesn't save anything...

Hi @Klyte45, firstly thanks so much for creating this mod! I have the game installed through Steam and I can see my .ccs files in the appdata/local/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines/Saves/Temp folder, but when I run the mod it comes back with zero recovered files. Is there a log somewhere that I can use to find out what the problem is? Thanks!

@Klyte45, I had several issues in the past 'in game', but no problem saving it. However these issues caused corrupt savegames. I had my CS completely reinstalled and started again without any mods or assets and now I can play the game normally, so new made savegames reload just fine. However the old savegames still won't load; I see in the load screen mod that everything is loaded fine, but after the message 'In Game' the game crashes and I see a split screen, light blue on top and the rest of the loading screen at the bottom. Then I only can kill the game in Steam.
I understand that this mod is not meant to fix this problem, or does it? If not, are there mods or apps to recover corrupt savegames? I've looked for it, but don't find any..

So do we have to have it in our load order preemptively or only when the save fails and we then download the mod?

Thanks for the very extensive supplementary description. It's good to know that with this mod we now have a back door if something goes wrong when saving!

I expanded the explanation. I expect I had been clearer there

Thank you very much, this sounds like a very helpul thing, But was does "intermediate" means exactly? Is it an autmatically generated savegame after a specific time period or is it more randomly?
