Missing .wld file?

Trying to load up Calamity world, but got the following message. Went ahead and unenabled all of the mods to work from the ground up to figure out what was/wasn't working, but the world still showed up blank. Tried each of them individually, also no progress was made. I attached a list of all of my mods that I have in the game. My character in which the world was created still seems to function just fine, just the world is gone. In the world says it was created earlier today but I've played in it easily since September, maybe even earlier. In the folder "tModLoader-1.4.3," the world that I've been using comes up with ".bad" and a second backup file (.bak2)? World was working fine about an hour ago. I can almost guarantee that this mess was related to my computer crashing (twice in about 20min) while the game was open. I looked online at the GitHub describing the backup restoration process but I have no files of ".twld" or ".wld" of the world I was using in the folders. My computer clearly knows it exists though because I have easily 10-12 backup zipped folders of my world from previous plays. I looked through all the previous recent forums, looked at the GitHub site, looked online, etc. Totally overwhelmed and would definitely appreciate some help!! I apologize for the chunkiness of the post but I wanted to make sure I had all the details down so you know what I went ahead and tried to save some trial and error.

Tag: backups (Owner: jopojelly#0000) If your world or player is failing to load, you can use the backups to roll back to an earlier working file. See https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-Guide#world-and-player-backups for more information.

So I got the world back up, which honestly I'm grateful for on its own. But it looks like the map doesn't remember things I've done in the last day or so (the map is empty, and it forgets I did things to change the map), like building a surface mushroom biome or work on my storage unit, as well as Spooky Wood in that storage inventory (Magic Storage) from a haunted night run. Is that just the nature of the beast, files lost to the void?
