Windows Horse Ownership

[Hugsoverdrugs]

Hey everyone,

I’m the farm owner in a co-op save and I’m having serious issues getting the horse flute to work. Long story short: I built two stables, one for me and one for my boyfriend. We demolished and rebuilt his, and now I can’t use my horse flute, summon my horse, or demolish my own stable or any buildings.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

• I manually edited the save file (in both Kessoku_###### and SaveGameInfo)
• Changed all <ownerID><long>0</long></ownerID> to match my actual player ID (from <uniqueMultiplayerID>)
• Double-checked the horse name and made sure the stable and horse both reflect the same ownership ID
• Renamed and reloaded the edited save file with extensions removed
• Confirmed I’m not trying to summon the horse inside or on invalid tiles
• Waited for a new day and restarted the game multiple times

But still the horse flute doesn’t work and I’m starting to suspect there may be some hidden or improperly linked ownership tag I missed. The stable and horse both say ownerID: 0 before editing, and now even after editing, the game doesn’t seem to register the changes.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

Is there a way to fully reset the stable/horse ownership to my ID manually?

Or is there a less painful way to just rebuild it all without losing the horse?

Appreciate any help — this has been a journey
