How to edit saves from Skyrim

Quick tutorial, how to edit yours save file. The file is not encrypted, so you can easily edit your save.

What you need?
-Skyrim Special Edition on PC
-Hekate
-Save
-Save tool https://gbatemp.net/threads/yallarenuts-save-tool-aka-switch-save-dump-hack-job-by-3096.503569/

1) Run Hekate
2) Run Homebrew Launcher and start your Save tool
3) Dump Skyrim save
4) Copy on PC
5) Edit the extension from *.sav0 to *.ess
6) Copy your save to Skyrim save folder
7) Run Skyrim, edit your save etc
8) Exit, and change the extension back to *.sav0
9) Inject your save back to yours Switch
10) Done :)

Dont use any mods on PC. When your will run your switch save you will get an error about "Hyrule.esm" file, just ignore that.

Fuck yeah

Fascinating. That they included the hyrule data as an ESM means that when cart dumping becomes a thing, it will not be a console exclusive. :P

It also means that they most certainly *DID* leave the loading hooks for plugins in the title. :P

*Even more eagerly anticipates a cart dumper/loader*

Remember the guy who loaded Hyrule.esm on a pc the textures didn’t work so we need to work that out also for mods

I noticed that the image format for the thumbnail in the save package you sent me was non-standard. RGB data is in the wrong order/endianness. (have not fully explored.) However, that is a minor quibble that a batch processor can fix.
