Lost hard drive to Tomodachi Collection Mod Stuff

I haven't bothered to sign in in a while and I lost most of the mod stuff. I kinda made a rant on how this happened:

Windows was running slow and laggy, so I wanted to switch over to ZorinOS (debian-based linux which I already dual-booted). But then it won't auto-mount my internal SSD, so I tried formatting it. I formatted my external SSD instead, which had the mod files on there. After that kerfuffle, Zorin became slow and didn't work as well. So I switched to Bazzite, but for some reason there's a bug with the external monitor that makes everything 15 fps. So I switched to CatchyOS (arch linux) and everything seems to be mostly working fine... except for windows programs. I spent today trying to set up Winboat and I hope that works. Bazzite also killed my windows boot drive after I set up Windows again. Finally, I was using the data recovery software DMDE and it turns out I overwrote the files I copied over. I'm also behind on my summer college course because of this OS kerfuffle, and that's my main priority right now.

On the plus side, I didn't make that many changes to the rom hack after I uploaded version 0.9000, so I can just extract all the files from the game after I apply the patch and work on that instead.

Sorry to disappoint that one guy who didn't like Living the Dream and has nothing else to play. Here's something fun you can check out if you haven't heard about it already: ACDX! It's that one version of Animal Crossing Gamecube from Japan with the e-reader content. There's also a lot more tweaks to the game.

Such things happen. Have done something similar in the past. Shouted some bad words and restored the wrongly overwritten partition.
That is what a robust backup strategy is for. The very common 3-2-1 scheme is the absolute minimum. Three copies, two different kinds of storage media, one offsite.

Even better is following 3-2-1-1-0 rule. Three copies, two different kinds of media, one off-site, one immutable or air-gapped, zero errors (a backup is only useful if proven to be correct).
