Welp, I rebuilt my title database and everything came back! My Terraria worlds are missing and I'll have to put my titles in their folders again but that's not that bad.
Thank you for helping me recover my files, even if might have annoyed you by not researching much before asking and rushing stuff! You've saved 2 years worth of playtime and homebrew hunting and I'm really thankful for your replies!
I hope you have a good day or night!
