Mooose2005 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) So I have gotten decently far into a playthrough with a character. But I recently decided that I don't like my characters name anymore. I know that you can change it with showracemenu and all. But I don't like how it creates a new character save and gets rid of all my past saves. Is there any way to rename / change all my past saves to the new name? Sorry if this is a dumb question but it's been bothering me a lot lately. Thanks! Edited November 10, 2023 by Mooose2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Your past saves are not gone, they are still there just under the previous name. The only way that I can see to move the old saves under the new name would be to replace the hexadecimal / numerical string that represents the old name with the one that represents the new name. See here for a breakdown of the save file name: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/322023/what-are-the-components-in-a-skyrim-special-edition-save-filename Would be tedious to do manually. There might be a utility that could do it for you. I do not know of one off hand, however. I recommend backing up and testing before committing to these changes.

Mooose2005 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Oh yes I know that it doesn't get rid of the old saves, it just renames that. Sorry I probably should have mentioned that. But I will look into these, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
