Like I already said, my reason for doing so was to try and fix a broken quest, which it sounded like the save editor could have helped with. Obviously if I knew it would junk my entire game going forward I wouldn't have done it.Scrap your install Dude, delete it all, and reinstall, use the Save Code to start at the new content and the Cheat code for Cash/Stats and skipping the minigames. There is absolutely no reason to use the Save editor
And it would have also saved me a little more time than even skipping minigames does because you still have to do lots of clicks to get enough money for everything you need. I know that's pure laziness but so what.
If the save game editor doesn't even work and isn't needed then it shouldn't be in the OP at all.
