Switching to ambient horror on existing save?

[sepiz]

Is it possible? if yes how?

I don't think so? My understanding is that with ambient horror mode there is no monolith and on an existing save you'd already have a monolith in place.

You can access the settings for it during a playthrough, by going to options->Gameplay->Storyteller settings. They are under the custom settings for the storyteller, but they don't have an effect if there is a monolith in play.

Maybe you could delete the monolith with dev mode, but I feel like that might just outright break things. You could try it and find out (obviously backing up your save first) if no one with actual answers responds in this thread.

You aren't missing much, it's literally the same thing just without the monolith. No monolith endgame, no using the monolith for research points, and no using the monolith as a void focus point.

Just ignore the monolith and increase the anomaly spawn rate in your settings I think base is 8% without monolith active 30% with
