Removing mods = RIP save files

[Hideo Kojima]

Tried on two computers. Were using 2001 James skin mod, removed it before I unlocked more endings, now my save files just crash the game. Tried different things for hours. Nothing is working. Hopefully I can remove the skins but then start a new game and still keep my progress file (with endings and stuff unlocked).

making manual backups of saves is modding 101, pretty much every mod warns you about this in the instructions

I've been modding games since the original Morrowind. I have been backing up every single save once I reach the 12 save limit. This isn't the issue. The issue is, removing a skin .pak doesn't just go back to the original skin (like every single game out there), it just makes the save unusable until you add the skin back.
