NOTE: I may not be able to help with people's savefile problems for a while. I just started a new job and I'm balancing that with managing chronic health problems. I will still try to deal with bugs in FallrimTools though.


Fallout 4 Special Note!!!

Unattached Instances are a normal part of how Fallout 4 operates. I recommend you NOT clean them until I figure out how to distinguish between the ones that are still in use and the ones that are not.


FallrimTools


This software is free and open source, and always will be.

Thank you to everyone who has been testing the tools and reporting their issues! [/size][/size]

Special thanks to flexcreator -- the creator of Script Scalpel -- for writing such a great tool and giving me access to the Script Scalpel source code.

It includes ReSaver - the savefile cleaner.

It included other tools in the past, and may do so again in the future.

Requirements


Java is a requirement -- ReSaver is written entirely in Java.

Java is a requirement -- ReSaver is written entirely in Java. Mod Organizer is strongly recommended for managing your mods and savegame directories. I'll try to add explicit support for Nexus Mod Manager at some point -- especially now that it may become the primary mod manager for the Skyrim/Fallout universe.

What you can do to help


Test the tools! Report any problems! Report any annoyances!

Try cleaning a few savegames with ReSaver, see it the new tool works at all.

Play with the tool, try to get it to crash in exciting ways. Let me know how you crashed it.

Find problems or annoyances with the user interface.

Donations

If you would like to donate, Steam gift cards are good, or donations through Nexus.

Really, I'll accept anything. :-)

Seriously, I'll take a high-five, or a photo your cats. An envelope full of used bandaids? Sure!

But it's not necessary. I wrote these tools because I love Skyrim and Fallout. I require no compensation.

Instructions

Unzip the FallrimTools archive somewhere. Double-click on ReSaver.exe. Choose your savegame. You should see a tree structure that has all of the save's script elements. The #1 thing that most people need is to remove script instances that are not attached to anything. Go to the "Clean" menu and select "Show Unattached Instances". This will filter the list and show only the script instances that aren't attached to anything. Go to the "Clean" menu and select "Remove Unattached Instances". Save to a new file. Load your savegame in Skyrim/Fallout and make sure it's working properly.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________ReSaver is a new savegame editor, based loosely on the excellent user interface of SaveTool. It works with Skyrim Special Edition, Skyrim Legendary Edition, Skyrim Legendary Edition + Crash Fixes, and Fallout 4.There are already two Very Good savegame editors out there; Save Game Script Cleaner (aka SaveTool), and Savegame Script Scalpel. I use them both and they are fantastic. They do have their problems though. Script Scalpel has a difficult UI and is a bit slow. SaveTool has quite limited filtering options. And at the time I'm writing this, neither of them can load savegames from Skyrim Special Edition or that use the new file format introduced in Crash Fixes 10. And they can't handle Fallout 4. ReSaver
