Stuck in sandbox mode

[alfrank]

I've been playing career mode and went into sandbox mode to test a design. But I can't get back to career mode.  I click on start saved game but I end up back in sandbox. Any ideas?

did you accidentally overwrite the profile? if you did not change the profile name, the game will overwrite it. If it happened, there's no recovery. I lost a career this way too.

By profile name do you mean the name assigned to the game? If I understand you, each time I want to go to sandbox mode I need the change the name of my career mode. Is this correct?

He meant that you cannot have 2 saves with the same name, the new one will replace the older one.

To put it simply, if you create a sandbox save named "alfrank" when you already have a career save named "alfrank", your career save will be deleted and there is no way to recover it.
