You’re playing Skyrim with you level 30+ character, working on getting that sideways achievement when you end up bugging a quest. You want to thrown the controller in rage because you just sunk almost 60 hours into the game and you want all the achievements so you can brag to all your friends that you owned Skyrim. Now with a bugged quest, you don’t know what to do.
Well, there is a solution to your problem. A BIG solution.
If you are coming from reading my Skyrim review, curious how this is even possible, welcome. This is my first How To article, so pardon if it is a bit jarring to read.
I am also not taking any credit on figuring this out. But I am sure many of you playing Skyrim might have missed this nugget of an article on Reddit. A little over 3 weeks ago, a person who goes by vw_luke over on Reddit posted up a Public Service Announcement about how you can swap the save files between the two games. You can read the original write up right here if you want to.
So how do you do it? (in full detail)
You are going to need:
- USB Flash Drive (Thumb Drive) with at least 1GB of space, the 360 hates the smaller ones.
- A copy of Skyrim on PC (or a friend that has it, in my case)
- A program call Modio which can be found here.
- Pop the flash drive into one of the usb slots on the xbox 360.
- Go into settings, select storage then select the usb. Have the xbox configure the flash drive so it works with the console. Hopefully you backed up anything you had saved on the flash drive.
- Find where your skyrim save is on your xbox and copy it onto the flash drive.
- pop the flash drive out of the xbox and then into the computer that has skyrim on it.
- Open Modio and click open from device.
- Locate the save file and open it.
- Click the file contents tab. Extract Savegame.dat
- Rename to savegame.ess put it into your Skyrim save game location.
- Boot up Skyrim and load up that save file.
Now that you are in Skyrim on PC you can use the console commands to debug any quests you may be having a problem with. I used the “player.additem item# -1″ command to have the game remove an item, it thought I had to debug one of the quests I was on and it worked. You can also do this to have access to all the content the modded sommunity developed for Skyrim at a later date, without having to start up a new character specifically for the PC version of the game. Also, rumor has it that you can so this with ALL Bethesda games.
If you go to the Skyrim Wiki page, it has a list of the item numbers in the game and a list of the commands that work. The wiki can be found here, and it has a lot of great information about how to debug some of your quests, and also if you aren’t sure if you bugged a quest, it will give you a heads up if you did or didn’t.
“But Xeserox HOW do we get the file back onto our 360?” Well that is just as easy.
- Rename pc save game to “Savegame.dat” exactly.
- Open Modio and click “Open from a device.” and then find your device and save game from Xbox. Any Skyrim save will do.
- Go to File Contents and right click the Savegame.dat and hit Replace File, then find on your pc “Savegame.dat” to replace it with.
- Go back to General File Info and hit “Rehash and Resign.”
- Press “Save to Device”
- Now you can move the save to Xbox.
Like I said, I did this for my xbox save and it worked. Now I know a few of your out there might do this for a few evil reasons, and I will say that I am against that. I also know that the achievements for the game doesn’t transfer between the two platforms. Basically, you can’t get all the Steam achievements from doing it on your xbox and vice versa.
Great, see this. Is what should have been available for so many games.
Cheers
From Pc to Xbox directly is imposible. Help please!!!
If you follow the step by step guide i outlined here, it works. You need to just extract the save file using Modio…. I might add some pictures to it if need be just to show exactly what I am talking about.
Cheers,
will you get the achievements you have already completed on the PC version on your xbox account?
Sadly, the achievements don’t transfer over between the versions. That’s a good thing though, because if they did Microsoft would pull out their ban hammer.
thanks for the respond, so devastating I can’t get the achievements for my xbox, still an awesome game though XD
But if you transfer a lvl 40 caracther, to an xbox, do you get all of the achivements on the 360 then?
the achievements don’t transfer over sadly.
So with that said, you will not get the achivements unlocked, that you should have unlocked, if you take a lvl 40 caratcher from the pc,to an xbox? Thats sad
Quick question, Xeserox, since you seem knowledgeable on the subject:
Say I own Skyrim for the 360. Thing is, I wish to play it for the PC, but would rather not pay another $59.99 for another copy. Is there a way I can get the game for the PC and avoid this cost? It would be a shame to have to pay for a whole new copy, considering the potential of PC’s.
While this is a great question, I fear that my answer will not be to your liking.
Sadly, you are going to have to pay for a PC version of the game, but don’t think all hope is lost. Honestly, I ended up buying both versions for the game, but that was because my wife was getting tired of seeing my back when I was at the computer playing! Strangely enough, she also enjoys watching me play the game!
I can tell you right now that many of the mods that have been released for Skyrim so far haven’t been very stable. I do know that in time they will become more stable, and more awesome. Just look at the community that are still modding Oblivion. In time Skyrim will more than likely go on sale for PC as well. Keep your eyes peeled on Steam, Gamers Gate, or where ever you buy digital copies of PC games from. I am sure in the coming weeks and or months, that Skyrim will go on sale for a really good price.
My girlfriend is a gamer, however shes not as hardcore as me, she still enjoys watching me play as well. arent they the best type of girlfriends
@Ernst
you can always download a pirated version you dotn necesairly have to buy the game.
@Sammy:
Please know that we do NOT endorse pirating any software from any developer. Pirating only raises the cost to us the consumer, and it’s just not a kosher way of going about getting your game fix.
We all know how steam works, and we all know about the joys of a steam sale. Steam isn’t the only place to digitally distribute video games, so there are sales like this on ALL OF THEM! It’s just a matter of waiting things out. If you already have one version, there is no harm waiting for the other to go on sale to get it at the really cheap price. Oh just ask someone on Steam if they have a coupon for it. I’m sure someone does.
Awesome tutorial, Im glad I found this, I just bought a brand new computer and bought skyrim on sale for $40 on steam and i already had it on xbox, since i got a new PC, i dont really want my xbox anymore, im only keeping it around until I can afford all the games i wanna play from it, this will make my life so much easier seeing as how i dont have to restart all over again after my lvl 30 character, since it is an elder scrolls game i will most likely play it again to get all the achievments so that doesnt matter(ive had over 500 hours in oblivion) I love elder scrolls, sadly didnt really get to play morrowind much, need to buy it when i have the money.
I need some help. I did what you said and once I put the save into my xbox I loaded it and it said “Disk un-readable” Why? I did everything right.
That’s a disc read error, and that is something up with your xbox. Unless you are getting that for USB Thumb Drive, then that might be an issue with the thumb drive. No idea what I can do other than when you do things like this, you do them at your own risk.
Though Disk un-readable, that sounds more like the xbox and not something you did from changing the saves over.
I also had the disk read problem before i had even tried to mod my profile. It was caused by a bad save on the thumb drive.
Easiest way is to buy the game from Costco, use it, then return it. They have a 90-day any reason return policy. Just keep the receipt, don’t break the game, and when you return it, they give you a full cash refund.
Thanks Xeserox. I’m trying to follow your instructions to transfer a pc skyrim file to the xbox. I downloaded Modio and registered. When I click on the button “open from a device” There is nothing listed. What am I missing? I have already renamed the game file to what you stated, but I’m stuck. Please help!
When you click on open from device, that is the USB Drive that you are using to swap the save between the Xbox and the PC. The xbox save file needs to be on that usb drive in order for it to work.
If you are going from PC to Xbox… make sure you have a USB Drive that has already been formatted by the xbox and a skyrim save on it. Meaning, you need to start playing skyrim, get through the beginning sequence and save the game. Then take that save file, pop it onto the USB drive, and then go to modio open device, and follow the directions. That way, if you are transferring your PC save over to xbox, you have a save file to swap it into.
That was it! You rock! I didn’t realize we had to have a skyrim save file on there already.
Sadly, you can’t create it yourself, because the xbox has a weird way of creating it’s save profiles and what have you.
But I’m glad that it worked out for you! I had the same problem at first. My wife wasn’t happy I was on my computer all the time, so I needed to get the 360 version and I didn’t want to start over…. you get the idea.
Enjoy!
Can’t Xbox ban your account and label you a cheater if you do this? I mean, I could really use this right now. I’m stuck in Japhet’s Folly on my Xbox game, but I also have the Steam version. I really miss my original character on Xbox, and would love to get out of there! I don’t need any achievements, since I already got them legitimately … I just want out of that place, so I can continue my original game…but I don’t want to be banned or labeled a cheater if I do this. Tell me there is some good news.
I did this, and I haven’t been banned and labeled a cheater. I only debugged my save file and that’s it. I didn’t work on achievements, or anything like that.
I think if you end up plowing through achievements and what have you, you’ll get in trouble. Then again, this isn’t exactly a mulitplayer game either. As long as you don’t 1000/1000 the achievements in 30 seconds… you’ll be fine.
OMG thank you soo much! You have saved my original character. I just did this and teleported myself out of that cursed Japhet’s Folly! Now I can play again. I almost gave up on my original game, but glad I kept a backup save. Thanks again.
Do you think you could help me with mine? I really would love to be able to play my character, I can’t swing my left handed dual weapons. I have everything done besides the PC stuff, I have the console commands needed to fix it and everything.
If you or anyone else at all anywhere reading this can help I created a brand new email that isn’t affected with virus’ to transfer the .ess file. My email is sawbucks2012@gmail.com
Everyone here must know how I feel so please help if you can, please.
Is there a risk of getting banned?
I think if you you do it as an achievement grab I believe. Like i’ve said, i’ve doing it a couple of times myself, and I haven’t been banned. I did it strickly for debugging purposes.
Well I want to do this to spawn an item in which I lost very early in the game and only one spawn (Skull of Corruption) I just want the staff back thats all. Would you say that could get me banned? I did finish the quest though.
The quest i debugged, I had to spawn one of those galdur Amulet things to debug the quest, so I don’t see what the harm is spawning just the skull. if you go and spawn all 15 daedric weapons to get the achievement that might be a problem!
I just need the skull thats all. I’m not going to the achievement. I just wanted all the Daedric artifacts and I realised weeks after that the skull was one. Anyway thanks for the responses I really appreciate it and also the instructions to transfer the files over.
Not a problem at all. This is what we are here for!
Finally! Shadowmere is coming home to daddy!
Tried this a million times but can only transfer my Xbox save to PX and not back again! I press replace file, rehash and save… Nothing!?! I tried injecting the file instead but then also got the unreadable disc error, although it is not anything to do with my Xbox/USB or disc itself as all work perfectly well when I am not trying to use modded game saves. Am I missing some kind of programme? Thanks.
You need a skyrim save on the USB drive that you are using to swap between the xbox and the pc. Make sure you are replacing the Savegame.dat file on the USB from the one on the PC. Then you have to hit rehash and resign on Modio not rehash and save. Let it finish the process and it should be golden.
If not, I’m not sure because I didn’t run into this issue. Only thing I did was made sure there was nothing else on the USB drive. Just had the Skyrim save and that’s it.
Managed it, thank you. I think it may have been because I had earlier, failed attempts on the USB that perhaps made the new saves invalid, not that I care now it’s done! Thanks again!
not a problem. I am glad I could help out!
is there a way to do this on a mac
I am not going to lie, but I have NO idea!
Just to clarify, is this not a bannable offense on xbox live?
All I really want to do is change my character’s appearance (too bad game has no barber shop).
I play on xbox live and don’t want to get a ban for tampering with files. Maybe I’m being paranoid, but I just envision somehow being caught for this and getting banned forever just to change my toon’s looks. Is there any possibility of being banned (if so a way to make it untraceable) for this since it is crossing platforms?
As long as you aren’t using it to gain achievements really fast, I don’t believe it’s bannable.
I also have no idea how you are going to change your characters appearance without starting the game over.
I was planning on bringing my xbox save file over to the PC then running console command showracemenu to edit my chars looks(just face n hair).
From there i would save and send that pc save file back on the usb and onto the xbox.
Hoping that would work since im 80 hrs into my game and wanting a change in look before i finish the main story.
I think that given this post it would be possible to do it that way right?
Didn’t know you could edit the characters looks with the console commands. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Now you are putting ideas into my head. I don’t see this as something that is bannable, like i said.. as Long as you don’t horde the achievements in record time!
Let me know if it works as well!!!! I might want to change how my character looks. Wife thinks my current character is a little to freaky looking.
So I did edit my character and it worked perfectly using the method of retrieving the save files you posted.
A couple of hints I stumbled upon are that when you edit your character. First, do not change race or gender. This will reset all your stats to base 100 magic, heath, stamina, and it is irreversible. You know this has happened when your character has crossed his/her arms in character creation screen.
Second, when your are done editing your character any “green”/upgraded by armor stats will be gone. Simply unequip your gear the re-equip it, and the effects will take effect once more.
So happy this worked, feel fresh with my toon’s new look. Kept all the basics the same to keep the overall personality of his look the same, but some face paint and a new hair cut lol.
Hope the wife enjoys your new look!
Thanks for the update. Though as much as my wife asks me to change my character, I don’t want to.
And thanks for the reply for earlier msg btw
If I transfer it to my computer and use consol commands before transfering it back to my xbox, will I lose my ability to get acheivements?
Sorry for the delay in reply. Many articles have jumped a top of me, and I needed to get onto them.
You will not lose the ability to get achievements.
Hey I was planning on transferring over to pc and getting a bunch of house mods like Dovahkiin hideout and such. And changing my houses and adding items with console commands. Now once I have these mods will I be able to transfer my save back to Xbox with the mods on it? I have all achievements so that’s not an issue nor will I try editing the mods. Like will the changes to my houses work with the Xbox.
Sadly the mods don’t go with the save. Those mods need to be on the xbox version of the game as well, and they aren’t.
Nor is there a way, that I know of, to transfer the mods over to work with the xbox version of the game.
Sorry chap.
Hmm, well can you at least change your house with console commands and then transfer it back to your Xbox, frankly I just want to increase my proud spire manors awesomeness, however I do, for some reason enjoy playing on the Xbox a tad bit more than the computer, mostly for the ease of access to all controls and the fact most people I know play skyrim on the Xbox.
By the way thank you so much for responding even after so many days since this page was made. Your probably the only person I know who would still be active on comments and I highly respect that.
As long as it’s not a mod or anything like that, you can just take your PC save and exchanged it with the xbox one. As long as you don’t unlock all the achievements all at once, you should be good to go. Meaning, your proud spire manor (which I didn’t know you could get), would be there as long as you swapped the saves.
As with everything there is some risk involved. I’m not guaranteeing that you won’t get banned, but I’m saying as long as you don’t scam for 1000/1000 achievement score, you should be alright.
Thank you for the comment about responding so fast. IN the end, this website is run by three of us total, and what better way to keep in touch with the fanbase. Also, I try to make it easier for the three of us to keep up on the comments on the website.
But never the less than you very much.
Quick question about Skyrim (it’s not entirely related to the subject at hand, but you seem to know a good deal about both PC and Xbox versions of the game).
Can I buy Skyrim used for he PC? I’ve heard that it requires Steam, which should mean that any used copy I can find will be useless (since it’s already been registered to someone else’s Steam account).
I will be honest, I’m not entirely sure. I bought a digital copy of Skyrim direct through steam. Though I am guessing you are right. I haven’t seen to many places selling used PC games.
I suspected as much. Some vendors are selling used copies through Amazon, but I figured I’d better check to make sure Skyrim would even work used. Thanks
Easy way to change race/gender without altering stats: all you have to do is type: TGM into the code console before the race menu. TGM is a god mode code, and locks up stats from lowering, but not going higher.
Thanks for that! I was curious if there was a way to do it without sacrificing my stats.
ernst you could always pirate the game on computer to avoid the costs lol only way to get it free
@Ryan: While We like that you commented on the article, please don’t encourage pirating of any kind of software at all. The developers work hard on their games, and they deserve to have their work paid for.
It keeps on saying invalid xbox package what do i do?
And where are the file contents?
You need to open up the file, and then dig into it a bit with Modio until you see savegame.dat.
though, it would help me a little bit more if I knew where exactly you are in the process. What you are trying to do, etc.
So with this little trick, can I tap into armor and hair mods from the PC community and put them into the 360 save?
Sadly you cannot. Any modded content on the PC cannot be transferred over to the 360. You need to have that content already installed on the 360 version and you can’t sadly. If you could, this might raise the suspicions of microsoft and end in getting hit with the ban hammer.
if i transfer a save file from my xbox to the pc and equip my character with a modded piece of armor or weapon. Will that armor or weapon still be on my character when i return the save game to my xbox? is that what you meant when you said you could get access to the content the modding community developed? thanks
I was talking about being able to unbug you quests you might have gotten bugged on the 360 version. You have access to the console and all the consoles commands on the PC version, where you don’t on the PC. Only thing you can really change on the PC is what your character looks like, and add any non mod created equipment and what have you.
Look I made a modded save where I am a level 255 and I have everything in the game in a bunch of boxes that I can keep coming back to get things and I have unlimited magic health and stamina but it is just for fun. I already have most of the achievements legit already so I see nothing wrong with it. I’m just trying to beat the game 100% in a funer way. If that is against the rules then ban me
I don’t do the banning on xbox live. So don’t worry about me!
i did everything u said, but when i try to load the save on xbox it said disk unreadable, but when i load a regualr game in my brothers account it plays fine. all i did was fix a bug with no stone unturned quest. i did every step exactly. idk wat to do.
I need a bit more info than just you did everything that was stated. Most times, people forget that they need to insert the PC save back into the xbox save, and then you NEED to have it rehash the save. That’s the biggest issue most people run into.
I am having a issue, that consists of an error message. This message says that the load/saved file is from a newer update and to please update xbox to load it. Sad thing is, I do not have xbox live. How would I be able to get past this?
If you could connect to xbox live, just to update the 360 version, that would make it work. Xbox Live is free if you sign up for a silver account.
if you ever get this where you remove the thumb drive and put it back into the XBOX and it states you have to reformat it
DON’T
You’ll lose 165 game saves like I did.
Instead I found a solution put it back into a PC, make sure hidden files is on (my computer > tools folder options> show hidden files and folders) then copy the whole (corrupt) contents to a new folder.
Reformat the stick in the XBOX (with the backup successfully still in your folder on the PC). Shut down the XBOX before removing it. (it seems to be this that corrupts it in my experience.)
Overwrite the files on the clean USB stick from those in your created folder starting with “Data0001″ — do NOT overwrite “Data0000″ which is a system file
(I believe this is where the corruption has occurred on the original flash disk).
Then plug the USB drive back into the xbox and all your data should be viewable.Copy it all back to your harddrive
USB handling on the 360 is nothing short of shocking in my experience and I’d experience these random corruptions almost weekly.
I’d often get this taking my profile from downstairs (online) to the box upstairs (offline). It would then say its unreadable. That then means downloading it all again (with a big gamerscore this took about 45 minutes prior to last year’s new dashboard update.). At least with this you can back up your flash stick as required.
Hopefully that will help someone.
Note: I found this elsewhere on the net (can’t remember where or I’d link it) after the event of me wiping it so I don’t claim any credit for this. simply sharing this to save someone else the angst of losing everything you’ve spent hundreds of hours “working” on.
Not pleasant.
Thanks for sharing this with us. And sorry to hear that you lost that many game saves.
Xeserox, would this work in this scenario; I want to transfer my char from my friend’s xbox to mine, no PC involved. thoughts?
as long as you were using the character on your gamer profile at his house it should work, otherwise not so much. Each save is linked to one single gamer profile.
I keep getting a message that say my save is out of date when trying to load my xbox save up on PC skyrim. Its says something like save is 0 and current level of game is 8. Any thoughts?
And my xbox save ends with a ( .exs ) not a .dat .Is that the root of the problem.
is that the file extension when you extract the save file out of the xbox save? It doesn’t come out as Savegame.dat?
Now you have me wondering if they changed something between the two versions of the game with the updates that have come out since i wrote this article. I don’t think they would, but you never know.
I just want to be sure though, when you are in Modio, are you extracting the Savegame.dat or are you just dragging the file that you see out of Modio?
when i save my skyrim file..more so copy it from my hard drive to my flash drive, why cant i upload it to my computer? do i have to have skyrim for my computer to even see the skyrim save on my flash drive?
You need to use Modio to pull the save file off of the Flash Drive. The 360 has it’s own save format and that is why you need Modio to finish the exporting.
SAME!!! My Shadowmere has been missing for months and I haven’t been able to find him anywhere! How hard could it be to find one horse in a video game but now he’s finally home safe!
Modio won’t find my device so i used on xbox device explorer and extracted the file that way but it comes up with the error message about version 0 and version 8, what should i do?
I have never used anything but Modio. I am thinking that now that Skyrim for 360 has Kinect support, that they updates aren’t going to be the same on the two games. I need to run a few tests to see if that is the case. I might be a little while getting to those tests as I am a bit backlogged at the moment.
Im just wondering is this will work for ps3 im not on PSN so I cant get banned and i want to spawn some items so will it work for PS3
This doesn’t work for the PS3 version of the game. xbox360 only and now, since all the updates, that is questionable.
Can I use this to recover an old lost save from a USB drive that stopped working?
Ok, so this really does work!!! Even after the recent update. Before when I went to download Modio, the link at the top of the page that says click here wasn’t working so I downloaded Modio from somewhere else . That was my problem the other version didn’t work but now it does!! Thank you so much!
I can’t open from a device on Modio because after I select my flash drive, I can’t select a profile
That’s a strange error. I will have to look into this one as well. In fact I will be looking at this soon, because another one of my quests on my 360 glitched…
GRRRR.
So if i were to do this would i get my microsoft account banned by them or will i be fine. if not then i’ll have to do this.
You run the risk, but if you aren’t cheating to get achievements, you are relatively safe.
could u put up a link for modio!
Sadly, we can not as we were asked to remove the link to Modio. It was a bit odd, but maybe I could again now.
Just to let you know, I tried this today with the latest version of Skyrim on xbox (post kinect update) and this worked perfectly!
I have closed off a bugged quest and deleted stuck quest items.
Playing right now, back on the xbox.
Thanks matey
AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks for letting us know.
if you move your 360 save to the pc, do debug a quest, like most of us have to do. After debugging, then move that same save back to 360, can you still earn achievements on that save game.
Does this work for taking a savegame directly from the PC to the 360? My hard drive died recently, but I saved all my Skyrim saves on a flash drive. And as luck would have it, I also have Skyrim for the 360. I’m trying to follow your instructions for getting the file “back” onto the 360, but since I’m not working with an original 360 save, I’m not sure I’m doing it right. For one thing, Modio’s telling me that my renamed Savegame.dat is an “Invalid package”. And I can’t get the file onto the other flashdrive that I’ve configured for the 360 because, well, it’ll only accept 360 files now. Do you know if what I’m trying to do is even possible?
You need to start up a save game for Skyrim on 360 onto that flashdrive first. Doesn’t matter if you are only 5 minutes into the game… as soon as you save it, then you can transfer the save over from the PC to the 360. Though… be careful, if this unlocks a large number of achievements right away, you might get warned or even banned.
Hot damn! That worked like a charm. And the 360 didn’t shower my level 63 character with any achievements, either, so it’s all good. Thanks for the help!
right ive done all that but my load button is still drak gray on the load menu and ive put my save in the skyrim folder but yet still nothing :’( please help
@Joe: Are you talking about the load menu in Skyrim on PC? If so, have you renamed it to savegame.ess
Good blog with some fascinating information. I will be back.
It says on the PC that I need to update skyrim to play. Arn’t the PC updates different than the xbox ones?
According to a comment up above, they are still cross compatible.
As long as you are running the same update on both, it worked fine. I did this on June 3rd, with version 1.5 on Xbox and the equivalent on PC (there is a new update available now for 1.6 on both).
The most important thing is to follow Xeserox’s instructions verbatim – I work in IT, and I still made a couple of fluff ups when trying this! But it worked in the end and my 200 hours character is still going strong on the Xbox
I’m wondering when Dawnguard drops early to the Xbox what the effect will be on game save cross-compatibility!
whenever i try to play my xbox save game on the pc it says that the xbok is outdated (0)and the pc is like (9).i did everything right i extracted the file i changed the last three letters to .ess please helpp.
Could you say have a mod on the PC and have it work on the xbox??
mods do not work across platforms sadly.
Ok, now if I want to get an item I missed earlier in the game I can get it with the commands on PC and theN switch it back and have it?
Does this also works if you got dawnguard downloaded on your xbox?
Something that needs to be tested! (I need to get dawnguard still.
)
I know you can mod skyrim on pc but is this something you can take that mod and put it to your xbox? like making a flying ring and transfering it to my xbox ?
Sadly, any mods you do or make will not work on the 360. I tried just that, no dice. Most upsetting I might add.
okay so i have been having a huge problem with my account. I originally had the xbox game, i’ve also recently got the pc version and im trying to transfer over my account, i’ve done it with another account that was 8MB large. When i try to do it with my main account which is 19MB large it does it, but when i attempt to play on it on the pc it crashes the game and doesnt load. it’s not how im doing things as my other saved account that i transfered works perfectly. Any ideas on how to fix this as ive practically done everything there is to on my main account appart from a few bugged quests (hence wanting to transfer it over for the console commands). Im almost certain it’s to do with the size of my account, any help would be appreciated.
Can you use horizen
not sure, as I only use Modio.
Excellent information! Thank you, sir! I’m looking for a way to drop all of those nasty quest tagged items and this seems like a perfect solution.
hey so i have a question: If you could get the file into the pc then you could mod the xbox file correct? even the ones that require a console command to get to a certain place because you could type the command on the pc and save then transfer it back?
As long as you aren’t adding some of the Mods they have on PC, like special weapons and things like that.
can you mod an xbox save by carrying it over to pc and then back after you get the mod?
when i try to load up my xbox save on pc i get a message that the save is outdated, that it is version 0 and the current version for saves is 9.
This is an issue that is starting to crop up as the games are different based on updates, and what have you.
hello i’m transfered my Xbox save to PC but when I try to load the Save apears that error: “the savegame cannot be loade because its outdated. It’s version is 0 and the current version is 9″ there anyway to fix this? I can’t update my Skyrim on Xbox so update skyrim its no an option . if you answering thin THANK YOU!
anyone gonna answer me?
Xeserox is there anyway to fix the version 0 error
When I load the save game onto my PC, it says the version of the save is newer than the update of the game. After some further research, it appears that the PC version is indeed older than the Xbox one, since the consoles got an update that the PC didn’t. I could wait for the PC version to update, but if I could downgrade my save that would work too. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
am having problems ,.. everything works fine,.. besides that my skyrim savegame from PC to XBOX doesn´t work.
I can save the xbox savegame to PC and edit it. – this works
BUT when i put the savegame back to? XBOX and press LOAD ,.. the screen freezes and Nothing happens,.. for more then 20 minutes,… i don´t know why it does ?
any Issues??????????? I hope some one does
cause it sucks
i’ve got sky rim for xbox and PC i need to revive this guy that i killed but when i try to load my game it says that the xbox save is an updated version and i will not be able to play it. is there anyway around this? (i can’t update my PC version) other then that i love this guide
I have a problem… For some reason, when I transfer my xbox save to PC it works fine, I edit what I want and even when I transfer it back to the xbox it works. However when I want to edit my save a second time the PC version freezes and I can’t get it to work. Any ideas? Thanks
Thank you SO much. So many of the “tutorials” I’d found on this were written for people who obviously already know how to mod things. This was very straightforward and easy to follow, and I was able to fix an issue that was keeping me from getting the Oblivion Walker achievement.
Has anyone tested whether this works if you have Dawnguard on the Xbox and not the PC?
I’ll probably get it on PC anyway but I also now have Hearthfire on the xbox one.
I’m guessing this may be what’s causing the version errors people are getting.
Will the mods come too if you transfer back to 360
