    @ClinicallyTired  This is, unfortunately, becoming a bit more common lately.  The only thing you can do here is save more often.  And use "save as" some of the time so you don't overwrite your older saves.  That way, if you do manage to save but the build is corrupt in some way, you can revert to an older intact copy.

    What may or may not help is building in a new, less complicated save.  You can save your work to your in-game library and place it in your main saves after the fact, and you're not running the risk of corrupting your main saves with build-related issues.  Just make sure to playtest the new build in the new save first.

    If you notice that a particular change to the build, whether cheat-related or not, tends to cause this kind of issue, that information would be of interest.  For example, perhaps placing a particular debug item means you'll have trouble saving later.
