GunnerofLife Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 My save file was corrupted and I didn't feel like starting at my last save point, which was like 2 hours away. So what I basically did was look up the solution online. It told me to rename my quicksave.bak to quicksave.ess, which obviously replaced the original quicksave.ess. It worked, but here's the problem. Oblivion XP gave me a lot more XP than needed, and I can't level up because the numbers subtract automatically ( ex. it goes from -49 to -59 to -78, etc.) It's hard to explain, but it just doesn't work. Help? Ask me if you need clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have not quicksaved since, then it shouldn't be. If you *have* quicksaved, then yes, it's lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way of fixing your save game, no. You should NEVER rely on quicksaves, anyway -- always use explicit saves, and save regularly in new slots.

Striker879 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) That question would be best answered on the Oblivion XP mod comment thread (along with your original question). - Edit - Or better yet on Oblivion XP Update mod comment thread (if you followed Nephenee13's advice).
