For sandboxes you usually need to save between events in the bedroom if you want it to import an older version's saves into a newer version.
Although sometimes it is backwards and it only works if you load mid event.
Keeping lots of saves helps here.
also when updating. don't delete the old version right away.
first download and extract the new version.
then try to transfer the save.
if it does not work, then tweak it a bit on the old version by trying to save in different locations or during event / during sandbox. and then moving it to newer version.
only once you have successfully transferred over your save should you delete the old version
I have played hundreds of these games. I can even mod them somewhat myself. I appreciate your reply, but I know what I am doing and how to transfer save files, etc. And no, sandboxes don't have places where you cannot save unless its inside a long cutscene. I have
NEVER had this happen in any of the hundreds I have played. It's clearly a flaw in the dev's code or design.
I saved way far into the movie date, but when I load up the save it takes me WAY back to before I even started the date, before the quest even updated to go on the date. In fact, upon further looking it set other quests back too. And that should not be happening. The image on my save is during the date even, but when I load it up it is WAY before the date, and before I finished other quests. It's clearly a flaw in the game itself, not my doing.
The scenes with the teacher in her office are also missing from the Gallery. Your first time with your "roomate" is missing. In fact, there are MANY scenes missing from the Gallery. We need a replay mod.
