My Custom Templates Are Gone and I Can't Choose them–Why?

Here is the problem, in a nutshell:

1.) Two custom templates with their own custom-designed Macro buttons and toolbar, etc, which I downloaded from Don Baarns's Website, designed specifically to help with producing audiobooks/voiceover etc, are no longer accessible. Whenever I load my Harddrive, which is where all my S1 projects are, the projects are all listed there in the ‘Songs’ Folder, but whenever I open any one of them, they do not open in the very template which they were originally made in. All the macros I used are gone. It’s just the standard five usual ones that were there before.
2.) - When I click on the ‘Templates’ folder, everything is there, as it should be. However, when I try to load a template from the startup screen, things are more complicated. They are ‘there’, but they are blurred out, so that I cannot select any of them.
3.) - This is strange, because on the same startup screen, when I click on the ‘New Song’ Popup window, they are listed right as they should be, underneath: ‘Audiobox USB’, and above ‘Band Recording-16 Track Band Recording’ etc.
4.) - But once I click on them, all I get is pretty much the same blank canvass that I would normally get when I don’t select a template.

In a sense, the missing templates are like Schrodinger’s Cat. They both exist, and yet they don’t exist at all.

This problem all started shortly after I changed my iCloud subscription from 200GB to 50GB. But I can say with certainty that it is NOT because of that. After all, I still have over half of the available 50GB space available, so it cannot be an issue of ‘space’. In addition, I tried to set all my song, macro, template, etc File Destinations to my external hard drive. So nothing in S1 should be affected by all this.

In the end, it all makes so little sense, and I have no clue at all what to do.

I too have just discovered that all my carefully created studio templates have disappeared. There is no Templates folder in Docs/Studio One/ Songs or anywhere else.

Extremely annoying.
