ME2 Gibbed Save Editor Not Loading my Save

Hello everyone, hopefully this is the correct place to be posting this. I am attempting to skip playing the first game, because I already played it and don't have my save game data anywhere. I heard ...

    Hi @ShreksSwamp117

    One thing before the others, in your "Plot/Mass Effect 1/Flags 1" screenshot you have "Citadel: Old Friends Met Finch" checked, that quest is only available if Shep is Earth born and that is not the case for your character.   

    Uncheck "Citadel: Old Friends Met Finch", save the file again and test. (Maybe that alone was responsible for corrupting the save file.)

    If that not helps, here is a step by step guide to import a ME2 Character back to ME2 for your Character. 

    - Play the intro

    - Create a new Shepard, set all the Character features as you want them in your new game, you also can customise her/him, but name the Shepard "Test". (without the quotes)

    - Save the game directly after Miranda wakes you. > shutdown ME2

    - Go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save" folder > create a folder named "Talin_21_Soldier_070916"  (without the quotes) 

    - Open the "Save_0001.pcsav" from the  "Test_21_ Soldier_XXXXXX" Folder in the Save Editor.

    - Under "Plot" > "Player" make sure "Played Mass Effect 1" is selected. (Don't change anything else in the ME2 plot table.) 

    - Change the ME1 Plot table as you like, but don't select conflicting content. 

    - Change the Character name to Talin, and the "End Game State" to "Lived to fight again"   

    - Save the file as "Save_0001.pcsav" (without the quotes)  to the "Talin_21_Soldier_070916" folder

    - Fire UP ME2 > in the main menu >  New Game > import ME2 Character.

    Now it should work. If you still have problems, please let me know.
