I just bought the Hearthfire and Dragonborn contents (I know a little late) and all of a sudden a couple of my save files a corrupted and I'm unable to load them.
I don't know if this is the cause of the DLC that I just downloaded because I never had this problem before.
Do you guys know how to fix this?
Or did you had the same problem?
Please let me know because I would be pretty bummed out if all my saves are lost.
(And "bummed out" would be an understatement)
I hate to say this but I don't think there is anything you can do. You could try going back to a previous save and see if that works but otherwise a corrupted save is a wash.
I always copy my saves and put them in another folder on my desk top before I make any changes to the game and this includes mods or anything else.
I haven't had that happen yet.
You know I was thinking do you load through Steam? Steam might have it saved for you and maybe it will load again is the only thing that I can think of. I disabled that option so I can get rid of saves. But I just checked with my husband who is a programmer and he said unless the save file exists somewhere else, then once it is corrupted it is gone. I am sorry.
If you stay level one, you can run around Whiterun and Riverwood area and collect them in about 20 minutes max real time. Then once you have 3000 septims (don't level- stay level one) you can go to Winterhold and buy 100 petty soul gems at level one. It takes about 2 rounds, waiting 48 hours in between of course so maybe 30 minutes or so real time. in the grand scheme of things really not that long. I do it with a lot of characters since Mason had this on his build- The Arcane Archer.
Then if you really want to take another short cut you can give them to Lydia give them a weapon (I think this works best if you don't have someone that uses a bow) that steals souls, and take them down to the little river outside Whiterun, have them kill a crab and it fills them all in one shot unless they fixed it last patch. I don't know but worth a try.
Oke thanks I'll keep that in mind.
I always use the "Banish" enchantment that upgrades your skills really fast, but it won't appear until you are a high level I think.
And I have Hearthfire now and you have salmonroe(?) or something like that, and I heard that is really good to level alchemy.
Thanks ;)
But the weird thing is, is that I did just that.
I saved my game with the character I was currently playing with, then I installed Hearthfire and when I played the game again it was corrupted.
I don't know if this happens alot, but if you want to be sure you can make a copie of your savegame.
But I'm glad to be of service
