1.6 Update Manual save transfer (switch w/o CFW to PC) - What should I need?

[jamamaa]

I want to manually transfer save data (from switch w/o CFW to PC) and I want to be as thorough as possible.

Aside from all the structures and inventory menus I would need to account for, are there any stats which wouldn’t be included on basic menus? If so, what are they so I can account for them?

I plan to take screenshots of every single inventory and manually copy them using a cheat mod (CJB cheats unless advised otherwise). I am not interested in modding my switch. If there is any other methods worth suggesting to transfer saves I am open to those as well.

Ah, interesting idea, definitely a load of effort but totally worth it if you want to do a little more with your save.

Due to the inability to look into the save file on switch, you'll unfortunately have to go without a lot of the stats that just aren't indicated to the player in game (certain collection/action statistics for example), though they're generally not that useful anyway.

Some data that I think is easily overlooked are:
1. Monster slayer progress
2. Precise friendship (be careful so you actually get the recipes when you change this)

So make sure you catch everything so you're not stuck at a later date remembering something you should have but forgot
