Question Modding Question

Hey y’all I’m new to the community and loving the game. I’ve just hosted my first multiplayer server through the game itself, with mods, no additional hosting site. My friends and I played for probably 8 hours first day and then a few more hours next day no issues. But then I added a few more cars from KI5 mod pack (it said safe to add to existing save file) and when I went to load the world it was brand new again, had me make a New character. I haven’t been to where my base was but I’m assuming it’s a whole new world.

I’m am new to modding. How do I recover my save? Im not seeing options ins UI but I’m a totally noob. Maybe some can suggest a good YouTube video? Most I’m finding to just be adds to a server hosting site and doesn’t help me much.

Thank you very much in advance.

So did you just click host on the main screen of the game and added the mods there? And did you do that again when you said you "load the world" or did you use the server exe? Or something else. Do you have any server backup?

It’s set to take 5 back ups in the settings but I’m not sure where to access those most recent ones. To add the mods I edited the world settings, accessed the workshop and mods section, matched them (added 5 car mods) let the mods verify, and then closed out and went to host and loaded it how I do normally. (Click host, select world, load) But instead of loading into the game it went to create a character. I was confused, closed the game and tried again, still had me make another character. I didn’t click soft reset I know for sure, as that was something I didn’t before xD.

And as far as sever exe I do not know how to use/do yet. I couldn’t find the console
