The auto-save doesn't really auto-save when one would think it would. I'm not sure it even does save other than when you save anyways or at the start of the game.
You can try though by clicking on the load button and then load the auto-save from there (it's called autosave).
There is a little button in the loading area that says "recover" and I still lost about 2 hours but it looks like it maybe saves when you leave a lot? Ty for your advice, I recovered at least 3 of my 5 hours I think. T_T
Hi @Zoaea
yes, it would have picked up from the last time you saved manually.
They got rid of it cause it never worked properly anyways. It basically only auto-saved when you saved anyways and at the beginning of each session I believe. Since it wasn't doing was everyone was expecting, I think they thought it would better to ditch it.
If you want a working auto-save, I recommend using a mod. MC Command Center has that option.
I was creating a custom house. My area lost power at 3:35 am. I know I saved the game prior to that power failure. When I go to look at the last save it says 12:47 am and it says the last family played is a family I wasn't playing. I essentially lost 90% of what I built in that house, over 2 hours of work.
I am a fanatic when it comes to saving, because of game crashes. Never in my wildest dreams did I think a power outage would wipe out over two hours of game play.
Is there a feature in options that allows me to turn on autosave?
When trying to load did you try the "Recover save" option.
