Modded Game Characters Not Saving

Grim Dawn Modding - Tutorials and Help

Installed a mod last night and activated it. Played for like 3 hours and went to bed. Came home from work and start up the game and my character is still the same level, wearing the same gear he had before I started playing the night before. Before I disabled cloud saving my character always saved fine. Now it is not saving with a mod enabled. Not sure where to go from here.

  Nevermind I figured it out. I knew I saw the fix for it somewhere and was like 9 pages deep until I saw it was a sticky. Getting old sucks.

What was the fix you found for this?

Short version: Download/Install Link Shell Extension, right-click your character in the main game save you wanted to use in mods, and in the context menu, select “Pick link source”. Then go to the user folder (custom games folder) and right click again and “Drop as” > “Symbolic Link”

Long version: Here is someone who made a video demonstration https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IFZM1pji35s
