If you play regular mode (not ironman) you can manually make your save game compatible with this mod and not have to start over by following these steps:

1. Open your saved game file in text editor (notepad++ recommended but not required).
2. Scroll down to find "game rules =" (if you use notepad++ it should be around line 30).
3a. If you play vanilla game just below symbol "{" add new line exactly as follows: RETINUES_REDONE="RR_VANILLA"
3b. If you play HIP mod just below symbol "{" add new line exactly as follows: RETINUES_REDONE="RR_HIP"
4. Save edited file, launch game, load and enjoy. (If you don't see readable text after opening your saved game in text editor, go back to your game and check if you have save game compression enabled (you can find it while saving your game: a box to the right of your save game name) - if so, make sure it is disabled)

Compatibility with major overhaul mods not tested except for HIP which this mod has been made compatible with.
