What is considered a "clean save"

BTW using the same save file but turning off all your mods doesn't always count as "clean" a lot of the changes that mods make can actually be saved directly into your save file.

So, what would be a clean save, short of a new vanilla character?

A "clean" save is a save made

A "clean" save is a save made with a completely unmodded game. That means character created and played without any mods. That's the only way you can be 100% sure that no mod or leftovers from them interferes.

Thanks.

Thanks.  


Key being unmodded 'game', not deactivated mods and various non .esp & .esm replacers.


 


Another question... can a vanilla F3 savegame be loaded into a TTW game, on the DC side, obviously.  


I'm assuming there would be no way (or desire) to load a TTW F3 savegame into vanilla F3... as the game engines are a bit different.

I believe F3 savegames could be loaded, dont know for sure though. Definitely wouldnt work backwards though, once TTW, always TTW.

I'd think that If vanilla F3 savegames could be 'ported' into a TTW NV game, that would be a big selling/advertising point.

How would you do that?

I tried loading up a couple of vanilla FO3 saves I had and it didn't work. Both were saves before leaving Vault 101, and loading the save resulted in a vanilla-ish male character standing outside Vault 101 (both saves were female).

I d/l some F3 savegames that were finisheed with the Vault.  They all turned out the same way as you describe... outside the vault, no inventory & flat states across the board... 


But, they are playable.  I'm using one now... "seems" ok.

Well I hadn't tried it but theoretically it should work. If you were using race mods that could work. If you are not, then I will assume that FO3 saves cannot be ported.
