Venture Seas: Save File Editing

Notepad++ or a text-editing software more advanced than Notepad.
Notepad++ is free. If you like to edit things, it is an excellent program that will be useful more often than not. Google it.

‘Local Disk/Users/<yourUserName>/.prefs/VentureSeas/’

Save1 through Save9 are saved here. As with all editing procedures, make a copy of the file you intend to edit, in case a changed value corrupts the file.

Open the save file with your preferred editing software. Change the values. Load the game and load the save. Some editors have found success loading at any time. Personally, I had to close the client and reload, in order to make it work.

Sample entry: <entry key=”sCoin”>500</entry>
Modifying this value changes your coin.

Sample entry: <entry key=”Aurelia: “>null/17397/55/10/484/…
The first number value is experience.
The second is respect.
The third is love.
