Issue Savegame doesnt appear on list

Okay hi everyone.
First and foremost: Sorry if my bad english is bothering you :) I apologize for every mistake in grammar or writing in advance

I ran into this problem:
  1. I have a couple of savegames
  2. Some of them are with mods
  3. I have steam installed on a partition (D:) of my main SSD
  4. I have also a library on my HDD (Z:)
  5. Stardew Valley is installed on (Z:)
  6. For some reason my latest savegame (14th of winter Year 1) was not showing up ingame. The savegame was on 1st of fall.
So i researched and did an backup on all farms.
  1. I looked up the savegames in %appdata% and found the savegame
    1. I looked into that game with the editor and checked the values (date, amount of money) and they all fit to the old save
  2. I looked up the savegames in the save-backups on (Z:)
    1. I looked into the last game with the editor and checked the values (date, money) and they all fit to the correct save in winter
So i tried to replace the old files in %appdata% with the files from the save-backup but it didnt work. Still when i loaded the game in the list of the savegames the savegame from 1st of fall would appear.
I tried verifying data, reinstalling SMAPI and a lot of other stuff. Nothing worked.

I got so frustrated that i deleted that farm from my savegame list ingame. Oh boy.... In my mind, i had a great idea. I simply would start a new farm, name everything the same (Farm name, what i like, my name and which dog i want) and just copy & paste the stuff from the old files to the new files (gameinfo and Farm). I tried and it worked like a charm.... but only if i start the game from my folder in (Z:). If i start the game through steam it will load the new farm with the 2nd of spring....

I have this tingeling feeling that i miss something simply stupif like cloud loading or so but i cant understand that the game loads a different savegame list ingame depending on if i run it via steam or directly from the drive.

Anyone with a great idea on this? I am so lost....
