I mean like when you start a new game. Everything else is completely new again including companions and events. The only thing that I want to transfer when starting a new game is my character's stats and level.
As whenever I important my progress when starting a new game. It loads the entire world that my character was previously in along with the companions and location of whoever I exported my progress.
I'm just wondering if it was possible to just only transfer lvls, stats, and feat. And not the entire world/progress that my character already went through.
Oh, I see! You're basically looking for something like New Game+. It's possible, but it does require some manual work. I did it for one of my characters and it took about 15 minutes, including some research.
What you have to do is export the data from your old save game using "export progress." After the process finishes, move the resulting glkdata files into a separate directory (let's call it "OldExport"). Next, you'll want to start a new game and configure it with your desired options. When you start out in the bunker, do "export progress" on the new game. You can just leave those files in place.
Next, download

. This is what you'll use to merge your old player data into the new file. It's not an installer or anything like that, so just unzip it anywhere. After you do this, run it twice to bring up two instances of it. In the first one, open up OldExports\FSCharacterVariable3Save.glkdata, and in the second one open up FSCharacterVariable3Save.glkdata (the one for the new game, in the directory with FS.
Look for the line that says "yourself" (it should be row 10 on both files). This stores all of your stats. What you want to do is make it so that columns 2-48 are carried over from the old file to the new one (if you want to include information about how your character lost their virginity and in what ways, copy over 49-52 and 66-69 as well). To edit the cells in the new file, click on the target cell, fill in the data, and rinse and repeat. You can use tab and shift-tab, as well as the arrow keys, to move between adjacent cells. Save the file after you've finished this.
Next, load up both FSPlayerListsSave.glkdata files. The old one will have all of your vials (if you played using the Researcher game type), feats, and all of the species that you've encountered. Do the same with the feats (and vials, should you want to carry those over and both of your games are Researcher). To add a new line, click the last, blank line in the list and start typing. After you've migrated everything over, save the new file.
The next file is FSPlayerSave.glkdata. This contains transformation/descriptive data about your character. You can safely copy the file from OldExport into the main directory for this one.
Finally, if you wish to bring your old inventory over, copy FSPossessionSave.glkdata from OldExport into the main directory. Otherwise, your character will start with the default inventory.
After all this is done, load up FS, start a new game with any settings (they'll get overwritten), type "import progress" and then "yes", then cross your fingers. If everything went well you'll be in a new game with your old character within a few minutes.
