I recently decided to replay monster hunter stories on my 3DS and I realized that the save data was corrupted, so I uninstalled the game and redownloaded it with the supposed DLC in the hshop, the problem is, if you want access this content you have to make an extra download from the game, which is impossible today due to the closure of the servers, anyone has a save data that has already downloaded the DLC? I do not care if the game is just started or at the end.

I was searching around the internet and apparently the DLC missions/monsters are lost media due to the server closure.

There is a CHANCE that I have it, I remember installing the game with some stuff awhile back but I am unsure as to whether or not I installed the dlc with it

I found it on Reddit and shared it with someone there, i forgot to share it here as well. Just download, extract, backup your Stories save (I used Checkpoint), replace the files in the save, and restore again. I can confirm it works, I have the Rider Card backgrounds and the event quests on the board.

Hey man, i checked the files and tried to install them through checkpoint by replacing the .sav files and restore but, for some reason, the events doesn't show on the board or arena. i think i'm doing something wrong 😆

So, the process is to make a copy of your save file using "backup", access it on a phone or pc by reading the SD card or moving the files, replacing the two files with the one from the archive (mhr_dlc.sav and mhr_dlc_bk.sav), making sure the folder is back in the checkpoint folder for MH Stories, and pressing the "restore" button. Are you making sure to place the two files alongside the others from your save, and using the right region? There's three separate sets for US, JP, and JP with eng patch.

Yeah, all is perfect in theory but the events still doesn't show up in game and don't know why. the files are even in the game but the only new thing i can see is some stamps from the DLC in the multiplayer mode, just that.

hello,what do you mean by "Checkpoint"
 
I have a save with the DLC included and its progress is just after the introduction kinship combos but i was wondering if there is a was to transfer the DLC to a new/other save so that i or other people didn't get stuck with the current name/appearance?

It's a US version and I used Checkpoint to make the backup.

Sounded like you just need the *_dlc.sav files, so if you delete the *_game0 files then it should allow you to start over without losing the DLC?
The _sys files appear to not be important, probably just containing settings or something, so you could keep them or delete them.

Is there no way to start a new game from within the game without wiping the DLC?

You only need to replace the "mhr_dlc.sav" and "mhr_dlc_bk.sav" files; you won't lose your saves progress. Btw, the files shared by ShinyDarkray47 work with both the US and EU versions, but only if the game is in english. For other lenguages, you'll need other files extracted from a save file of a game that contains the DLC in that lenguage.
 
Thanks for the Info!

I Tried to attach the Save i made with checkpoint here but No Dice if anyone could recommend a good suggestion i would appreciate it.

Just for added info about the save It's just after the introduction kinship combos and with access to the Quest Board with a Default Name and Appearance.
