Re: [PC] Importing a save file from Mass Effect 1

@thingy1804

If your question is about importing ME1 characters to ME2 do this:

Navigate to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 2\Save" folder and create a folder named "ME1" (Without the quotes) inside the "Save" Folder.

After you finished ME1, copy the Mass Effect Saves from the Mass Effect save folder ("Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save") into the "ME1" folder you created.

Now ME2 should "see" your ME1 characters.

    Literally none of what you said worked. So any other suggestions?

    ME2 "expects" to find your ME1 saves in the following location: "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect\Save"

    THAT'S where you put the relevant "Charactername_MassEffectSave" file. If such a folder doesn't exist, ('cuz new computer, no install of ME1, etc.) just create it, then copy the save file there.
