A way to create recovery saves without loading the save

JustADragon · 13 hours ago

Mildly specific request, but i bring it forward for good reason.

In the current state of the game, there is no real way to remove mods from a save game. And due to how the files are managed, if a mod is missing the save is effectively broken

As mods become deprecated, instability grows, or even mods are revoked, players need a way to remove mods they don't need or can't use. The only way to do this right now is through recovery saves, which require a save to be loaded. But if a save can't be loaded due to instability or a missing mod, you wind up with what these 2 players reported:

A broken save file that can't be recovered through current means.

If a tool existed that could create recovery saves without loading the game, it would go a long way to help players in situations like this
