[PC] Can't access old save games? "Load" greyed out.

Skyrim crashed earlier, probably due to some combination of my mods or Steam syncing it (that seems to happen a lot as of late), and when I relaunched the game I noticed my "Load" option was greyed out, and "Continue" was no where to be seen.

Weird.

Well, I exit out and head over to my Documents folder to see if my saves are still there. They are, but Skyrim doesn't seem to be recognizing they exist.

So I copy all those and back them up, then clear the save games folder and try making a new game. Then I save and quit, and check my documents again. Now there's a new folder, above Saves named '1', with 1 save in it. I figure this is the new save location (weird, but I'll go with it). So I put some of my old saves in the folder and boot up Skyrim again.

But it only recognizes the one save it made of my new game... help?
