Here are also some VERY important instructions for the save game patcher.
Ignore if you're planning on starting a new game.
Save game patcher (082>083)
While 0.8.3 offers a great opportunity to start a new game, this release has a fully working patcher that converts your old slaves and Issids into 0.8.3 object contained NPCs. Just save your old game in the Home screen and load that save with the 0.8.3 start_game.html. Even if there's an active reset script, I
STRONGLY recommend that you dismiss all followers from your combat group, release all girls from bondage and clear titles/assignments
before starting up 0.8.3.
Press the patching buttons until all iterations are completed. Note that:
- All former Issids will be dismissed and returned to their original locations.
- All jobs, titles and follower assignments will reset.
- All pregnancies (wife only) are terminated.
- Current Issid-based kids need to be re-added through the Action & Events > Debug menu.
- Red errors may occur, especially if you didn't save in your Home interaction screen. These errors are most likely searching for the object container and should be ignored (harmless).
- Old saves have a "Pick Traits" button in the Debug menu. This gives you 100 points to freely choose a bunch of the new 083 traits (+disadvantages). The button disappears after going into the CCP so make your choices wisely!
- The patcher IS NOT compatible with the Expanded Retreat mod. All slaves placed in slots above $avAp15 are terminated after the patching process has concluded.
