So I've been playing Fallout 4 for a relatively short time compared to everyone else, and found a selection of mods I'm happy with. So after installing them I made a new character and about four hours in got a ctd whenever I tried to go to a specific location which surprised me because I never had a single ctd before then (excepting one improperly installed mod) even though I played much longer on many other characters. It turned out my saves were corrupt and I lost three hours of progress. So my question, since google searches won't find mention of anything like this anywhere, is this: I'm fairly certain there's no way to repair corrupted saves using a program or the console, and I can't find any way to reliably prevent it from ever happening. But is there at least some way to look at a save file and tell if it's corrupt or not, maybe with some program an intelligent and proactive programmer made and put online? I'm okay with maybe losing a couple of hours of progress every once in a while, but I don't want to be days into a game and go to an area to find out my saves are corrupted and have been for over a day's worth of playing time. So are there any useful or helpful ways to deal with corrupt saves at all?
