I'm trying to change the appearance of one of my characters while in game.

Unfortunately this is currently not quite possible as my savegames (Documents > Paradox Interactive > Crusader Kings III > Savegames > [...]) are read by each and every program as a whole lot of random symbols and error signs.

Interestingly enough I'm not experiencing any issues with the games - the savegames just can't be read manually.

Has anyone else had this issue? When opened the files appear as shown in the attached pictures. I haven't spent that much time on the run but it's grown on me.

Most likely the save is compressed. Add .zip to the end of the file name and see if you can de-compress it.

I've moved you to user Mods as they have the most experience in examining and modding save game files.
