Hi crosstitcher. In case your game data is still on your computer, try running the game again tomorrow, at least 24 hours after you last played. I’m sure you’ve read the earlier posts in this thread, where desktop players were sharing about a similar issue. They found that waiting until the next day before running the game again resolved the issue. Of course the game would need to be unpaused during that time so that the day could advance. It wouldn’t hurt to give it a try. With any luck your game will still be there and will run. Good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
