Lately I've found that the save files tend to mess up stuff that shouldn't belong to them. Latest issue: after pulling my hair out for a couple solid hours over some texture animation problem, it turns out the solution was to delete the .sav file for this Age and that's it! Are animations settings saved in there?? Why??
I remember someone had a similar problem not too long ago that was solved the same way... can't remember what it was. (maybe it was a texture animation issue too, thinking of it..)
Do we know exactly what is saved in those files, why, and more important do we have a way to avoid saving anything in there?
