Note: Development on the Vita release of the game [[Console Version History#PS Vita|has been abandoned]], leaving the final Vita version as equivalent to {{version|1.2.33|PC version 1.2.33 (2017)}}. As such, a Vita save may be transferred to PC/mobile, but a modern PC/mobile save file is incompatible with Vita.

#*# If you are on PC, ensure that the game files do not have an extension like <code>.bin</code>. If you are on Android, you may need to add the file extension <code>.bin</code>.

#*# 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.

#* If the files are missing but you have SMAPI installed, here's how to recover a backup:

#* If the files are missing but you have SMAPI installed, see [[#Restore a backup by SMAPI|''restore a backup by SMAPI'']].

#*# Find your [[Modding:Player Guide/Getting Started#Find your game folder|game folder]].

#* If the files are there but newer game progress is missing, it's possible Steam Cloud Sync / GOG Galaxy / mobile equivalent automatically replaced your save with the version it had stored. To solve:

#*# Open the <samp>save-backups</samp> subfolder.

#*# Launch the game. (Don't load a save yet.)

#*# Unzip the latest backup which has your save, and copy the save folder back into <samp>Saves</samp>.

#*# While the game is still running, delete your save folder and put your backup back in.

#*# Load the save.

#*# The cloud backup service will detect that the save changed while the game was running, so it'll treat that as the new version to save.
