how do i make it so i can remove a mod and not corrupt my saves?

[ominous1]

i have the cpt and def off ai mod and i cant play the damn joint operation quest cuz of it. when i remove it i am unable to play with the saves. as for editing hings i have no idea how to do any of that stuff.

either open the save in a texteditor like Notepad++ and remove the <patch id="***"/> of this mod at the beginning of the file

or edit the content.xml of the mod by adding a » save="false" « attribute to the root node (same node where the id id defined), then load and save the Game with mod


note that both methods do essentially the same: they remove the Info that this Mod was in the savegame, they do not remove parts left behind by these mods, so it could still cause problems. When the creator provided an uninstall manual please consult it

1. yep, exactly what you posted if it were more or less it would break the syntax of the file

2. nope, thats not enough - there are a few more entries for this in the file but its also easy to find - then entry at the top is just the savegame info, not the actual player account.
