ok thanks I changed the value in slot 4 but the unlimited inventory items needs to be off other ways the value go back to 9.9
well, yeah, it is an inventory item, so it will get reset back to 99, what i've done and it *seems* to work, is put money on my horse, and in the perma storage you get, turn it off when I need to shop, unload the cash, and turn it back on. its a hassle, but with how the devs have coded it, I think that's as best as we're going to get for a while, and I'm OK with that.
Careful as this bricked my save. I wanted a couple levels and edited the stats and thought it worked. Played the game, 4 hours later noticed my stats are level 30 but i didn't get any of the perk points. So now I'm maxed out but can't allocate perks. Gotta reload a save from 4 hours ago lost so much.
Just an FYI, Bricking your save means that its in such a state that it wont load, or makes the game crash shortly after loading.
Sounds like your save works, just has the messed up stats, you could try looking at the stats from the non-edited save, and apply them to the edited save and save and exit, restart the game and see if that fixed the levels
