Description
Allows to save a character playing in a version and load it in another version of the game.

So you can finally replay your 1k hours survivor from B41.50 into B41.73 or even multiplayer.

How to
  • start the game in the initial version
  • activate this mod in the save
  • load the save
  • click on the save button below your character name in the character UI
  • note your character name(1)
  • stop the game
  • start the game in the current main version of the game
  • activate this mod in default setting
  • start a new game with the same character name(1)
  • click on the load button below your character name in the character UI

What is saved
  • Profession
  • Traits
  • Perk levels, current experience and book multiplier.
  • Weight
  • Kills number
  • Time survived
  • Items(2)
  • Known recipes
(2)no keyring, no tailoring patch, restore full durability.
Also clothings and bags are "randomly" equipped automatically. This is mainly to avoid "weight stuck inventory" effect.

Can I use it for other switches than game versions
Yes you can use it:
  • to have an experienced character in a Really CDDA challenge.
  • to change between survivor mod and apocalypse.
  • ..
But in those cases you SHOULD use this other mod instead.

A mismatch between client and server with B41 Multiplayer?

my bad I'm an idiot, to everyone else who can't get it to export, read the instructions :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

you need to have the same name
it works like a charm in build 42

11/10 mod :steamthis: :steamthumbsup:

Oh for some reason it also does not export to build 42 for some reason, works within 41

It works great, but be wary that if you have personal notes on notebooks or papers, upon loading they will also turn into Empty Notebooks and Empty papers.

It's good I backed up at least, but that should be noted in the footnote above :mhwgood:

Yeah just thinking of using such a mod in the middle of an unstable release... makes me say the people losing their progress really just had it coming...

Hello, I wanted to test with a fresh character but nothing work. When I click the save button to save the fresh character nothing happens.

When I go to my current save and try to load that fresh character, nothing happens too

Some things to note:
- Some containers will fill to full when loaded. Even if they were empty when saved, they will load to 100% completely filled. These include but are not limited to, Gas Cans, Propane Torches, Water Dispensers. This being said, a cologne bottle I filled with whiskey did maintain its 79/100 mL, and another flask kept its volume as well. So not all liquid containers behave this way.
- All Skill VHS are loaded as a useless 'VHS - Retail' which does not do anything. RIP Skill VHS.
- Many character values are not saved (only ones listed in mod description are saved). For example, health tab was reset, calories were reset to 50% of the max value, and etc:.
- Bags may change skins (Eg: Hiking Bag)
