Re: Problem with saved games

@bananajoy_2  Are you trying to find a separate save, or a very old version of a current save?  If it's an old version of a current save, then there's no way to do it unless you manually preserved the old files: the game only keeps the last five saves before the most recent one as backups.  I thought you were looking for a different save entirely, as in, an older one that you don't play anymore, as opposed to an older version of a current save.  Sorry for the confusion.

    @bananajoy_2  Then unfortunately, there's probably no way to find that old version.  If you never used "save as" to create a new save slot, the old backup versions would have been deleted to make room for newer ones as you went along, so the files don't exist anymore.

    You could try looking in your iCloud drive though, or in the iCloud archives, that is if you've ever used it; maybe you'll get lucky.  The archives can be seen if you open a Finder window, click on Macintosh HD (or whatever you've renamed your hard drive), then Users > your username.  They'll all be labeled iCloud Drive (Archive), with a number after if you have more than one, and you can sort by date.
