Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Re Copying Meta.Lsb Files To Add Mods To Old Save

Trying to use Andy's Essential Mod with existing save game. Subscribed/Activated mod, started and saved new game, used mooseEditor to unpack files in new save game and copied meta.lsb into old savegame. But now that old savegame is corrupt.

When I open the old savegame I immediately get message that file is corrupted, don't play it. And when I look at the game I see that whereas the old save game was at Silverglen characters are now on beach.

Is it possible to add a mod to existing game ? Did I miss something ?

Thanks in advance

The meta.lsb file contains the level the characters are on. If a save is after Cyseal, this can cause problems if the location on that map is out of bounds on the Cyseal map. In that case (if the teleporter pyramids and/or Rift Travel can't help) you can load the old save, teleport to Cyseal re-save, extract the contents of that save and then replace the meta.lsb file there.

For the 'corrupt' message, try moving the lsv / lsv.bak file(s) to a different folder or subfolder, just leaving the screenshot, extracted files and folder, and the replacement meta.lsb file.
