#*# Modded saves may not be able to load in the vanilla game, depending on the mods that were used. If you previously played with mods but are trying to launch the game in vanilla, try reinstalling SMAPI and playing a day. SMAPI will automatically clean up any custom content from your save. Note that if you still have custom items in your inventory, they will turn into blank error items and may cause issues.

===Restore a backup by SMAPI===
If you use the [https://smapi.io SMAPI] modding API, the bundled <samp>SaveBackup</samp> mod keeps up to 10 daily backups of your saves. Even if the original save was completely deleted or corrupted, you can probably recover it from SMAPI's backup.
To restore a save backup:
# Find your [[Modding:Player Guide/Getting Started#Find your game folder|game folder]].
# Open the <samp>save-backups</samp> subfolder.
# Unzip (or 'extract') the latest backup which has your save.
# Copy the save folder back into [[#Find your save files|your <samp>Saves</samp> folder]].
