Hacking Homebrew ACNL crash after using NL Save Editor

[ankira]

hi! i recently used marc's new leaf editor and changed my map layout, my villagers, whose at harvey's, what's in stock at the able sisters and kicks, and some other stuff to my save file. i have used this save editor before with no issue, but after using it last night, i finally had a crash after a few seconds upon the game opening and loading and i CANNOT figure out why. i feel like its probably really obvious but i just do not know 3: i tried quite a few times to fix it on my own (making sure no buildings were in the water, there was a proper amount of rocks, removing buildings i have not yet unlocked such as the cafe in case that has something to do with it, etc), but still nothing!

the crash dump is here, hopefully i uploaded that correctly ^.^

When using save editors you can get the game into a state that it does not expect and doesn't know how to cope with. I do not know what in particular is crashing here. It might be worthwhile to restore a working savegame backup, then make modifications one by one until you find out what triggers it. Then, simply avoid doing the thing that causes crashes. Savegame editors don't always know or care to respect the boundaries of the game, it is expected that the user knows how to respect them. From a quick look at the savegame editor you used, this seems to be true:

I would simply restore the previous working backup, then see if I can isolate the action in the savegame editor that leads to a game crash.

i was considering doing this exact thing, so it seems that's what i'll have to do. thank you for the reply though :3
