Thanks for this, being a heavy mod tester. I have never gotten very far in the game. And i started getting sick of doing Bleakfall Barrows all the time. This has really saved me, and now I can try and get back to questing.
Regardless of the nay-sayers, I just want to say "Thank You" for saving me some time. I have restarted the game so many hundreds of times that it is not funny. No, I have NOT finished every start, many of them were just started to investigate some new mod or expansion by other artists here at the nexus.
Whenever I have attempted to create starts, I always, ALWAYS, forget to remove some other mod that I really should not have left included for whatever I am investigating. By having a really clean starting save like this (despite having to go through character race menu stuff) I can get to a more interesting aspect of the game sooo much faster.
If people want something like this, why don't they simply take the time to make these for themselves? It isn't rocket science, y'know. Carefully make your saves, name them whatever you like... Use whatever mods you like... Go as far as you like, then save it out. You can use the in-game save or the console save. I just don't understand every time one of these types of saves pops up there are so many people going 'Oh Wow! Such a GREAT THING!!!!'
However, I personally do not do this. As tedious as it is to go through the boredom of the cart ride, character creation, etc. etc., I have a sneaking feeling that many variables are filled every game during the 'Unbound' quest. I cannot prove any of this, but I have seen instances where essentially the same character, same mods, different games gets more / better loot in one game than the other. Nothing substantial, maybe ... 10% difference? So... For what it is worth, that's my 2p. (Guess I just told you what it was worth, huh...)
I am not knocking YOU, pcwiz, please understand that.
I 100% agree with you, I made this for personal use and mod testing, I just know I did this 100% correct they work great and I thought I would share it.
Some people don't have time or just don't want to play from the start.
Also not all save game that people upload are same,in my case my saved game file is a lvl 1 char that is ready to levle up to lvl 53 and has legitamately raise it skills from the start with out leveling up or using up the perk points or cheats or console commands or unofficial mods.
Most people find my save game useful cause they don't have to spend time leveling up high to get high gears loot after Helgen. My saved game example: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26330/
Did you even search? I made one not too long ago, very similar (Minus requiring the high res texture packs and including a version with requirements for the unofficial patches (Makes less possibilities for bugs)) and there were people before me who did similar.
I have no idea why the author made this require the high res texture packs, requiring them excludes users who play with lower settings, and/or have a lower end rig. Seems silly because as far as I can tell, there's no real benefit to requiring them.
your upload is not PURE vanilla, and I quote from you own file statement
"*REQUIRES LEGENDARY EDITION AND UNOFFICIAL PATCHES* Masters were cleaned before play according to Gopher's Youtube Guide on Master Edits with TES5EDIT. Please read the readme provided."
At least its file under the correct section of the catagory "Saved Games". http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/searchresults/?src_cat=43
This not a mod but a save game as stated before,you will have to have all the DLC(bought them legally) and the HD pack installed to use this save game or you get a error message stating missing mods.
I've always thought save games shouldn't really be counted as mods, but this is just too good of an idea to discount. I plan to use this to get PCEA working by using a vanilla save from this file and pinup poser. Now I don't have to start all the way at the beginning again to do so thank you so very much.
Just curious how this mod effects the rest of the game play after that start point? From experience, and reading lots of posts, even things like "Alternate Start" will corrupt your game because triggers are skipped or things are done out of the order intended by regular game-play. I admit I have less CTDs when I go through the whole boring start sticking with the mods chosen at start up. Just wondering if this mod addresses those triggers making sure they have all been triggered up to the start points of this mod?

Looking for ages for something like this.Handy with mod testing
This one does not require the unofficial patches which is good because those change all the time.
Many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hug.

Again, Thank you!
Have fun

These are just saved games at different times in the game.
The difference is -- Vanilla Skyrim and all DLC installed before the game was started. Perfect Clean Save with DLC
I made this for quick game restarts and mod testing.
