Undying Hertiage help

[Clwood04]

Hello,

So I am at the part of the quest where I need to get sustenance for Aldeim. I already saved the girl and the prisoners. I read on an old thread that I can essentially delete the house in my save game file and when I reload game it will respawn with prisoners again. My problem is I cannot open the save file to edit it. Any help would be great.

In addition, I have tried to open the files, they still load in my game, but it is showing them all as notepad files. I cannot remember what they were originally.

The savegame files are ZIP archives.

You don't need to feed someone to Aldhelm, though. It's not a requirement. It's only an option for cruel watchers. You make it sound as if you "need to" do that, and that's not true.

Let me rephrase, I WANT TOO. Anyway, got 7-zip and worked like a charm. Thanks!

For anyone else wanting to do this in the future, the save file AR house hertiage did not work to do this. What you need to do is copy all hertiage files to another location and delete the ones in the save file. This will effectively reset the instance, it is best to save right outside of Icantha's house. Once you load back in you will be fighting a group of zombies. After go inside Icantha's house and send prisoners to Aldheim and then run back outside and save. Go back to your save file and place all of the copied files back into your save game. This will clear all areas again.
The net result being you just spawned prisoners to send to Aldheim.
