Mod saves not saving

I copied my character from the main campaign to users folder (mod folder) when i play with mod nothing i do changes, but if i unequip some armor it does change, but not on the mod save, it changes on the main folder

any idea?

edit1: tried copying the main save to mod folder, deleted the main save, when i get ingame take my armor off and exit to main menu everything goes back and a save is created on the main campaign

yes, mod chars have a flag set that vanilla chars have not set, to distinguish between the two. It is not just a matter of which dir they are in.

As the chars in your user dir do not have that flag set, they get saved to the main dir

You will either have to start new chars in the mod (so they have the flag set), use some tool to set the flag for your existing chars, or use symbolic links (not sure how, but that too should do the trick according to some posts in this forum)

see above, if the flag is not set, the char is saved to the main dir

thanks for explaining that.
do you know some tool do change flags?

the following tools should be able to

GD Defiler (not sure if this is up-to-date however)

GD Stash

Save File Editor which I only mention for completeness… it certainly is the least user friendly

When using cloud save, do not have GD running while making changes to the save files…

GDStash did the job, thank you sir. :smiley:
