as far as i see a difficulty is locked to the save file.
so if you wanna play a different difficulty you gotta make a new save.

Is peacefull really entirely without enemys?

peaceful mode is always an option.

You can't even place a campfire without some cannibals showing up, it's kinda annoying, i don't remember being like that in the early stages of the playtrough in the first game.
Once i kill a few jumpers, the whole herd was running at me down the hill... ♥♥♥♥ hell no.

I am on normal, have been through like 3 days now and have only had 3 show up and I attacked them, they were to scared to attack me.

If you move around more they'll lose you, this game seems to have the "heat" system from the first game. The longer you spend in one spot over days will attract them I think. I went down to the beach and then came back up and I've seen far less of them. Also made multiple fires/outposts so I don't always have to sleep in the same place.

Yeah noticed that, but since you try to build at least one camp/outbost/base it's rather annoying... ah well, im gonna start over today with different settings, see how it goes there.

Yeah, this somehow works, thanks, also i got winter immidiately which is why i set it on realistic, is it possible that on custom you can't really meddle in files?

edit.
Ok another thing, i copied my custom made "GameSetupSaveData" from another save, and just added this whole line to the into the text file, and it started working.
{\"Name\":\"GameSetting.Vail.EnemySpawn\",\"SettingType\":1,\"Version\":0,\"BoolValue\":false,\"IntValue\":0,\"FloatValue\":0.0,\"StringValue\":\"\",\"Protected\":false,\"FloatArrayValue\":[],\"IsSet\":false}
