I get you well. It seems some users suffer issues with continuing from 1.002 saves on the latter version even though this shouldn't have happened. Likely some of the users were using older saves without realizing it.Ok.
Honestly I can't see myself starting from scratch again just to see the new content.
Already done it too many times with the bugs and save issues.
imo it's worth starting over only once quite a long changelog has piled up.
