This should work for Skyrim just like it does for other games: For PC to PC, you can go to the 'User/Documents/My Games/Skyrim' folder and simply copy the 'Saves' folder from one machine to the corresponding folder on the other machine. I recently solved the data transfer issue for Skyrim on the PS3.None of the answers above helped at all,and like 'lildominoe' I was able to save and transfer the data to a USB but not save afterwards. It said something like this game is saved under another user. It literally won't let you even press the save button though you can play the game from where you saved off your USB. It took me a couple hours and a little playing around so I'm giving you the exact steps of what I did. The Solution • Save your old game save data to a USB (I don't have much so I used 2GB) • Log out of PlayStation Network.

Skyrim PS3/PC Save Converter - Mod your save (Works for OFW) Not sure if theres any console gamers on here but this could be useful This is a tool/method which will allow you to decrypt you PS3 gamesave and re-encrypt back after modding.

This hides your 'user' until you sign in again,I also deleted my user on PlayStation home screen as well. • Make sure new PS3 has no users and log into P.S. Network under your old username and password.

Now you have just transfered the 'user' that Skyrim recognized as the user for that save. • Create a new home screen user.

I used the same name as the old machine in case the game tried to recognize that as well.

Don't ever buy a used system,and the fat models at that!

I did it once when I got the YLOD. I used hair dryer in box to get it to stay on long enough to get my disc and the above recovery of an AWESOME SAVE!! But I went cheap and bought a used system from a friend. Lasted bout a month (enough to get me to Lv 24, I was at Lv 9 I think on my first system) but like most it's YLOD'd on me also (both the old fatgirl systems!) So time to see if I can follow my own advice and do it again, hairdryer and all.

If so I'll leave this post as is. If not I will update in the next 2 hours. Good luck, I hope it works for you and helps get you back to the wonderful world of Skrim!!ENJOY!!

There's a lot of saves similar to this but not quite what I was after so I did this for myself. Only uses Skyrim.esm & Update.esm on version 1.9.whatever with no DLC's enabled. Why: I decided that as much as I make new characters I really need a clean save to save myself some time. Sure, I have Alternate Headstart but I found out today that it breaks Bridge Farm and I kinda want to try that out. Besides, what's it really do besides give you a start? Anyways, I usually want to go through the default start anyways and I'd have to sit through the stupid intro no matter what if I did that. It just gives me a better immersive feel of what my character should be feeling that I don't quite get if I start somewhere else then just run in the cave and give one of the guys a potion.

It's easier to not have my head nearly being chopped off fresh in my mind but I think it's important that you make your decisions with that in mind and perhaps despite of that. Anywho, enough of my rambling!

What: This save is right after you get off the carriage at the point the game enables saving. But it gives you a good 20-30 second leeway while calling up Ulfric, Ralof, and Lokir before forcing you to make your character so you can load in with this save with ONLY your essential MCM mods you need to adjust settings of and make your own clean save with your main mods set so you don't have to do it again. After that you can re-enable all your mods and it'll be much easier when you need to make a new character from now on. How: What you need to do is open NMM and click the Plugins tab then at the bottom left hand side there's a little sheet of paper icon thingy with a right arrow to export your load order to a txt file - do that! Once you do that then you can click the (/) no smoking looking symbol thing to disable all your mods, then check Update.esm. From this point if you load up skyrim and start a new game then save where I did (open console and type: save 'save name here') you will have reproduced what I've done. Recommended: But to go a step further you can then enable only the specific big MCM mods that you know you aren't going to remove and you hate having to set up every time you make a new character.
