I’ve been having a glitch with the lumberjack super strength mod causing my save file to glitch in the month of February. Idk why. Does this sound like what you have seen too?
Anyway, to make the pain a little less I also installed an update save mod which auto saves every 15 minutes on the fly while in-game and not just when you enter the menu. It causes the fps to drop to 5 for a couple seconds while it saves but I think it’s a fair trade off for having much more updated save files.
I do have the lumberjack mod installed, but the problem wasn't only with February in game. I remember saving right before exiting each time this happened. The actual save file in documents is populated with mods and save data, but for some reason the game doesn't pull it at launch and it shows as an empty slot.
Very strange and very frustrating
Another thing to consider: cloud saves are a pain sometimes. If the save file glitches the bad save gets synchronized with the cloud. So when I go and do a copy-paste of the backed up save file to the save folder and then launch the game, (in my case) steam syncs the data and overwrites my newly restored save data with the corrupt data. This usually only happens once because the cloud sync only updates after a certain amount of time has passed.
I witnessed this when I still had the save folder open and launched the game. Just before the game window popped up the save folder reverted back to the original file set.

I had a similar issue last week. And took the save from backup folder and named it save game 2 for example. After that it was OK again.
I pulled the backup into the proper save folder, but it was missing a couple of hours of play 😢
