Reason being my download directory (among others) was deleted by a windows glitch. Not too happy about that.

Anyway, at the very least take copies of anything you change just in case you break it in a terminal fashion.
Agreed fully, andrewas, and also ONLY hex-edit your save game files, and not the actual program code, unless you really want some trouble. You never know what changing one little thing will affect throughout the game.

Backup, backup, and backup!
