PC [HELP] Cannot load game after editing farm type in save file

[TumDum]

Hi all,

i read through the guide on missing/corrupt save file troubleshooting guide and determined my save file is not corrupted. i went to replace the savegameinfo as mentioned in the guide, i managed to load the save file but when i exit the game and re-load the save file the game crashed.

Please help. Thank you.

My error log shows the following message :

Message: There is an error in XML document (1, 35751).
InnerException: System.Xml.XmlException: Name cannot begin with the '

Hi Chililover,

i changed the number on this line of code <whichFarm>0</whichFarm> from 3 to 0.

I'm sorry, I don't know what that could be, but as far as I know, it shouldn't throw a error like that for such a simple change, U didn't put a space before the number did u? (u probs didnt) are you using any mods? Also try reinstalling your game. Hope one of these things helps.
