I don't have any issues with the storage of my Mac as it is brand new and has about 100 GB of free storage space. I don't have much space on my iCloud but it is not set to store data on iCloud anyway. The Saves folder is empty and I completely lost my saved game (I checked every other relevant folder including Tray, Mods and Saves). Is there a way to retrieve the lost data? There is no longer a load game option in the main menu so I couldn't try with that either.
Or is there any way to make sure this doesn't happen again if I start a new game?
Ok. Please do a Terminal search to see if the save file still exists in your Mac user account somewhere. Applications > Utilities then open Terminal. In the Terminal window copy and paste this search command at the command line then hit Enter/Return:
find ~ -type f -name "*Slot_*" 2>/dev/null
Let it run, you'll know when it's finished because the command prompt will reappear. Please copy/paste the results in a post here.
This only searches within the Mac user account you're logged into. If you want to search all user accounts on the Mac replace the `~` with `/`.
