editor and event problems

[History_Buff]

I am having problems with custom events and with the editor. The problem is that neither will work. If I try to edit the save game using the editor, it freezes upon my clicking the save button. If I make a custom event, the moment I try to start up the game, the game freezes during a load screen. Not to mention, I have begun to have a problem wherein the election events simply are not happening. I changed them so that I would have my custom made candidates in said election, but they do not fire. I got away with this because the sitting president won both previous elections that this happened. However, I do not plan to run him again in the next election so I must address this before that comes up.

it is highly recommended that you not use the editor.

Please look here for tips on modding the game files manually.

That is the thing, even, when I manually modify the game files, The game has a heart attack and freezes once midway through loading a game.

Most likely you are missing a { or a } somewhere when modding the files manually.

I recommend using an advanced editor like TextPad or Notepad ++ that will detect these missing symbols when you load the file in C language mode.

Also how many files did you modify? The recommended approach is to modify 1 file at a time and then verify that each one works... that way you always know what file is failing.

Did you backup your files before modding?

In every case but one of elections, I did back them up. But the elections can be fixed rather easily, since I have two instances of this game installed on two separate computers, thus allowing me to copy and/or transfer them from that computer onto this one.
Also, I wil try that and see if it works
