Tearing out the entire phone system is too drastic of a change to make annealing the game state a simple matter. You would have to leave the old StoreModule unchanged so the save game can be loaded correctly, and then transfer the variables you want to keep from there to the new variables. Since this isn't freeroam that would have to happen at a fixed point, probably at the start of the new content. It's possible to handle arbitrary saves but it's a pain in the ass.Can you tell something more about that fix? Maybe I'll work on implementing something similar in the game if it helps with the save issue.
I wouldn't bother with it, and instead insert a prompt at new game start. "Start normal" or "Jump to new content" followed by a quick series of questions about what the player did to set up the tracking variables. You're not yet tracking that much that this should be more than a handful of them. MUCH easier to implement and far less prone to error.
