Uninstall mod question

[davidself1001]

I installed a mod from nexus. Not crazy about it so i deleted the mod from my extension folder. When i restart the game my save file is not loadable. Is there a way to solve this? Mod is called Engine and Truster Combo.

It depends on the mod. Some will change objects or add new ones and those are saved in your game. You should contact the author and asked him how to uninstall the mod. For the future it is recommended to backup your saved games before testing a mod

I'm not guaranteeing this will work but a quick glance at the mod looks like it doesn't actually need to change your save games. If you can't get in contact with the author then you can try reinstalling the mod and editing the 'content.xml' file from:
<content id="ws_490273020" name="Engine and Truster Combo (SPEEED)" description="Tel S Combat Engines Mk3 + Gen S Combat Truster Mk3 (SPEEEEED)" version="100" author="Azurgan" date="2018-12-02" lastupdate="1438169541">
to:
<content id="ws_490273020" name="Engine and Truster Combo (SPEEED)" description="Tel S Combat Engines Mk3 + Gen S Combat Truster Mk3 (SPEEEEED)" version="110" author="Azurgan" date="2018-12-02" lastupdate="1438169541" save="false">

load game up again, save in a different slot, exit, delete mod.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

After adding the save="false" i was not able to open a saved file. I removed the edit and now i can load the save's again. Any other possibilities?

yes, you can try to edit the save file.
Make a backup of the save file
Unpack the savexxxx.gz and open with notepad++
In the top of the file you find the block with the mods, the name of the mod is there.
Delete the block, save the file
Pack with 7zip to gz
Load

I had the same Problem with one mod. When the mod was not saverelevant, it will work.
