I see that it's a common issue more than what I thought: https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Restoring_Backup_Saves#Restoring_a_disabled_save
@GraceyManor I just created a test save with that custom world (with a fresh folder), copied that meta.data file and pasted it to one of my disabled .sims3 files, but once restarted the game and clicked the checkmark of that saved game, it said I couldn't load and sent me back to the main menu. I'm really struggling on how I can save that specific file if it won't let me re-install that meta file or the saved world. Edit: I also just replaced the test meta file with the previously saved one, and instead of the icon being greyed, it's not, but with my most recent saved files, they are, if that makes sense.
@Karritz Before this happened, I did manage to save some sims to exports, while others I have saved as CAS shares, so I think I'm good for the most part. I mean, thankfully, I can still access that part without worry. I also have a backup folder, so that's less worrisome.
@izecson It's too late in regards to that now. I couldn't even tell you why, honestly. I think I might get a recovery save program and see if that helps. I don't see a real way out of this one ?.
