📋 About This Mod
Ever loaded into your “Hardcore No-Mods” save, only to realize—too late—you’re actually knee-deep in your “Everything Explodes” mod profile? Oops. One corrupted save file and a lot of existential dread later, you’ll wish you’d named your saves!
Named Saves is a quality-of-life mod for Subnautica that lets you assign custom names to your save files, making it easy to organize, identify, and manage multiple playthroughs or modded profiles.
-
[]Custom Save Names:
Assign a unique, descriptive name to each save file directly from the main menu. No more guessing which save belongs to which playthrough or mod setup.[/
][]In-Game Editing:Instantly edit save names at any time using a convenient "Edit name" button next to each save slot—no need to leave the game or rename files manually.[/
][]Profile-Friendly:Perfect for players using Vortex or other mod managers with multiple profiles. Clearly label saves like “Vanilla Run,” “Hardcore Mods,” or “Creative Sandbox” to match your modded setups.[/
][]Localization Support:All UI text, including the edit button and input placeholder, is fully localizable. Easily add or update translations in Localizations.xml for any language.[/
][]Non-Intrusive:Custom names are stored separately and do not affect your actual save data or interfere with the game’s normal save/load process.[/
]
If you use Vortex to manage several Subnautica mod profiles, each with its own save file, Named Saves helps you:
-
[]Assign a clear, custom name to each save (e.g., “No Mods,” “VR Playthrough,” “Experimental Mods”).[/]
[]Instantly see which save belongs to which profile from the in-game menu.[/]
[]Edit these names at any time, keeping your saves organized as you switch between different playstyles or mod lists.[/]
-
[]Install the mod and launch Subnautica.[/]
[]In the main menu, you’ll see an “Edit name” button next to each save file.[/]
[]Click the button to enter a custom name for your save.[/]
[]The custom name will appear under the save’s game mode, making it easy to identify.[/]
Keep this mod installed on all of your Vortex profiles so you can always see your custom named saves!
