Hey!

I've been working on my mod for a long time now but something weird happened today... when I tried to save, it crashed during the saving process and left behind a .tes file. I read that its a backup so I rewrote .tes and .esp and it loaded up, but it was missing weeks of work... Apparently this backup doesn't have all my quests and outfits, but kept the dialogue files/entries and actors.

Loading the non-renamed file works, but it ALWAYS crashes on saving. (Could it be packages that no longer have an actor to use them?)

So I loaded a previous version, tried to save and it worked... I still don't know what happened so my choices are:

1) Merge the latest file which contains the new changes but is missing old content with the previous backup (how do I do this?)

2) Manually copy the stuff out of latest version into a new mod, then import that stuff into the previous version (is this safe?)

What do you think I should do? What do you think causes a crash on save? How can I save my project?

Cheers!
