How are workshop characters added to my world?

[P0NYSLAYSTATION]

I've not been able to find anything explaining this.

Since created wrestlers are basically just edited versions of existing wrestlers in the game, does that mean that if I download a workshop character that is just going to overwrite the version of that character that already exists in my game?

Or are they added to the game as an entirely new addition to the roster?

In other words, if your workshop wrestler is an edited version of Whack Ax (heresy) then is that going to alter my existing Whack Ax or be a totally new character?

I'm interested in adding workshop characters but I've progressed though about 30 in-game years over the course of career and booking mode, and I don't want downloading a workshop character to mess up all of the ways the existing wrestlers have changed over that time

By default, they are added as new characters to the game roster. But the character author wants, they can set the character to overwrite an existing one.

1) Select Editor mode.

2) Scroll through the different promotions until you come to a screen which displays all 300 characters.

3) Press CTRL + N - this will create a brand new Wrestler. If done correctly, you will hear a loud sound effect, as a new character slot appears at the very end of this screen. This pre-created template serves as your new character. You can also press CTRL + DEL to delete any of your created Wrestlers on this screen.

4) You can create as many new characters as you want, which will not impact the rest of the Wrestling Empire roster.

Of course, you'll need the WCCL mod add-on from Wrestling Empire's Steam Workshop to create brand new Wrestlers.

If you ever need any help, I'm always a message away.

So the mod is needed for downloaded characters to be added as new wrestlers? and how do I know if the wrestler author set it as new character or overwrite?

Some of the Wrestlers I created were editing existing fictional wrestlers like for example Al Green & Sonny Siaki were believe it or not; Whack Ax & Whack Oz & I just completely re-edited them.

Yes. Playing the unmodded version won't present the full roster screen (which is one extra page when sorting through the different promotions) where new wrestlers can be added or deleted.

I'm hoping that the ability to create/delete new Wrestlers will be added to a future update for the game without the need for modding. Something so simple should be a basic part of the standard game.

I see, in that case I won't risk downloading anything as it could mess up my world

For the record, when running the game modded, it makes a separate save to running unmodded when using WECCL. It also backs up that unmodded save frequently so if things did mess up you could find a backup to restore, or always have the option to go back to unmodded that save would still be untouched since last time you launched unmodded.
