Skyrim SE issue

[neekee]

Hello,

Loaded the game after months today and was surprised to see I lost progress. The kids play too so I'm sure this is Cloud related or something.

So I went to my SKSE GSM save to restore and was surprised to see that eventhough the modified date is May 2024, the saves inside the archive all date back to 2021 at the soonest.

Any idea as to why ?

Cheers.

The metadata of files can easily be manipulated, so a gsba's "Last Modified" metadata date (according to Windows' Properties dialog) isn't a sure-fire way to know when an archive was last written to.
A good example of this is when you download a file from the internet; the "Last modified" and "Creation date" metadata tags will be unique to you (i.e not the same as the source file).

I'd suggest you open the archive in your favourite archiving solution (7zip, WinRAR, WinZip, etc.) and navigate through its contents manually, if not already done so.
