tommymsw Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I had to reinstall Windows so I saved the 7 days "saves" folder and then moved it back. Actually the ENTIRE 7 Days To Die folder (under users/roaming). All is fine except I lost all my clothes! And all the stuff I had on my character. My character is the same level and all... I just lost the stuff ON my guy. Is it because I backed it up wrong? Or because my new character is a different character? Do I have to create a new character with the same "old" name? I am not sure what that would have been... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The save file was for 1 character, so ya, when you changed the character, the game thought you were a new person. Your old character is probably still saved though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommymsw Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 So what do I do to get it back? Just make a new character with the same name? How do I know the old character? And it was strange that it kept the characters stats and level, just lost the backpack and clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I don't know how the game was coded, especially since they keep changing things all the time, so I could very well be wrong... but it's worth a try if it means getting your stuff back right?

tommymsw Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 I see a player profile file with the name like: 4556985422584452.tff Maybe if I just change the name of the OLD one to replace the NEW one? (after backing up new and old) I am guessing ALSO the map file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommymsw Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 It looks like that file contains all my "stuff". I see stuff like "�minibikeSeat�minibikeHandlebars�sledgehammer�" and crap in it. I'll just swap out the file names and see if that works. Thank you.
