Help! I have done something stupid...

[rzrsharpeprod]

I was loving 2k19 and had modded it nicely, added characters, music, arenas and images via unpacking, replacing and repacking them. It crashed a few times in my player and occasionally in regular play so I rebuilt the chunk file via cct and since then it has wiped out all of the characters that I added and messed up the images on my created wrestler. The arenas are still there as is the music but all of the wrestlers I added have completely gone and I wouldn't even know who I replaced them with originally as it was a few years ago now.

My question is, is this a known foolish thing I have done and is it easily reversible? Is it even reversible at all?

I was loving playing it and would love to get back to my universe, but now most of the characters in my universe are no longer in the game so I can't.

Any advice would be much appreciated

If you 'wiped' your mods you probably have to reimport them. Sorry to hear that man.

Would regenerating the chunk file have wiped them though? I've regenerated it loads of times and it's never done that before, I don't know what was different this time?

Typically no, clearly something was wrong though, you said it kept crashing? Regening chunk typically is a good thing in wwe2k19 modding.. are you certain the game has the mod files read still? example: Sometimes there's conflict or desync even with something simple as sound editor.. the editor might red your changes, but the game might not reflect that. if the mod tools says its modded or changed but your game doesn't reflect that.. it could mean it's no longer actually in the game anymore. (Remember in the future to back up old mods and saves)

Yes old saves have saved me in the past (pun intended) but in this case nothing seems to restore the wrestlers. 

The files I edited and inseerted such as arena, music and most of the images are still in there, it's just the characters that are no longer there so it may be what you said and the mods are somehow not in the game anymore? The install mods menus in cct are greyed out so it looks like they are still installed but maybe I'm missing something?

Wish I knew more, but I don't even own wwe2k19 anymore.. the old pc I had it on is gone are you able to export the mod files out of the tool? Are you sure you merely regenerated the chunk? Do you have old chunks you can use to verify?
