I've played this game A LOT and the main thing bugging me is that all saves (and autosaves) overwrite each other, so I start anew A LOT. (I'm a perfectionist and the repetition of using the same starting location and all that is really soothing. :)) Yesterday I was so lucky with the nearby herds and lack of nearby hyenas at 0:00, I decided to save and then copy the file to another location on my PC, just in case there'd be a way to use it lots of times. I've tried copying it again and placing it back in the save file folder with a regular unused name, but in-game it gave me the error message that the file 'has been tampered with'. I haven't messed with it other than just copying it.

I'd very much like to use it as a reusable starting point as a normal hardcore nomadic save file in the Northlands. However, if that's really not possible, maybe someone could make it into a custom scenario? I don't need any changes to it, just reusability with these wild animals around. Can anyone help?
