I modded save file; game won't load

[unmerged(28030)]

I have attempted modifying a save file for the first time. Nothing big -- I only changed the culture of three provinces. I also changed the event effect of a province from poor to rich.

When I tried to load the save, it crashed. I went back and changed the event back, from rich to poor. It still crashed. I haven't tried changing the cultures back.

I am confident I spelled everything correctly. Did I leave out some vital step?

Thanks for your advice.

Edit: Nevermind, the game isn't loading any save files period. This thread could be deleted.

Well, you did something wrong, obviously.

It's hard to diagnose from here though. All I can suggest is watch the punctuation - a single misplaced ";" will cause the entire save not to load.

Actually he could have modded a corrupted save game (his edit sounds that way).

Yeah, I think the file was already messed up before I touched it.
