Know Limitations:

  • []Once a game session had a player settlement created, this is tied to the entire campaign session, not just the save. This means if any older save is loaded for that campaign session it could have unintended side effects/town "ghosting" where the player town from the later save also gets loaded in.

    []Due to the above, once the town is created, the game will overwrite the current save, as older saves are at that point unsupported regardless. There is no going back!

If for some reason an older save is required, the meta information for this mod tied to that session would need to be cleared. If this is done any later saves made after creating the player town will be corrupt and likely cause crashes.

Technical:

In order to clear meta information, go to the Bannerlord config directory for this module (usually located at 'Documents\Mount and Blade II Bannerlord\Configs\BannerlordPlayerSettlement'. There will be folders per campaign session where a player town was created. The folder for the current game session would have to be removed. Be sure to remove the correct one! This is a very technical process as the only way to identify which is the correct one would be to open the 'meta.bin' file as text and then base64 decode each line until the town name is visible. The town name is the only indicator for which campaign that is tied to.
