Transfer Game Pass Saves to here
Anyone know if I can and if so how? or should i just restart again im 30 hrs in the game and really dont want to restart over again
EDIT: The gamepass saves do transfer over to steam but I decided to make a fresh new character with mods installed and so far its awesome with the new stuff thats added and the quality of life mods i installed. Thanks folks.

And 30 hours for Skyrim is still in the beginning stages, I've thrown away more because I made some choices I didn't like for the character and went back a number of saves to redo it all again.

30 hours is literally nothing, a perfect save can take up to 200 hours easily, that is without the creation club content, without any mods at all.

seeing that you have more than 3000hrs on the game made me buy it and if i start over again i guess it doesnt matter

Congrats on buying the game, VivaPlays - enjoy!

Just a note - it happens that Alex is one of the most experienced and reliable people here - and has been for a long time. However, it can be confusing to determine whom to listen to on these forums, especially for someone new. In the pinned topic Helpful Links and References, see Section 6, Miscellaneous - Reliable Forum Regulars, for a list and explanation.

That is not to say that other's advice is not good, but it does provide a guide as to those that have, over an extended period of time in helping in the forums, proven themselves to be consistently reliable.

It's private to stop people looking at details I might want private, there is too much information out there these days, I would set it to something more middle ground but that's not an option.

But I have spent over thousands of hours playing both this and Oldrim, although most of the SE hours have been on my PS4, currently playing through the AE quests.
