Skyrim PS3/PC Save Converter - Mod your save (Works for OFW)

This is a tool/method which will allow you to decrypt you PS3 gamesave and re-encrypt back after modding. The decrypted save can simply be loaded up the the PC version of the game, or you can edit bits of your save by simply hex editing.

WORKS FOR ALL REGIONS

By decrypting your save file this allows you to:

• Select a different race or gender
• Fix broken quests
• Fix broken dialog
• Cleanup your quest log from logs that will not remove
• Add any items
• Remove unremovable quest items
• Increase your carry weight
• Increase your damage dealth (insta-kill)
• Increase your run speed
• Increase health/stamina/magicka
• Cleanup Ash piles/dead dragons/dead people that will not auto cleanup
• Resurrect dead NPCs
• Increase followers skills and health/stamina/magicka
• Add perks
• Add all spells
• Add all shouts
• Add dragon souls
• Add money
• Create semi custom vanilla weapons (only if they exist in the vanilla game, not in ESP/ESM files
  and more

Requirements:
PS3 (Can be CFW or OFW)
USB Stick (To copy the save of course)
HxD Hex Editor - DOWNLOAD
Skyrim PS3 Version (obviously)
Skyrim PC Version (To modify the decrypted save - optional)
Skyrim PS3 Toolkit GUI - DOWNLOAD - MEDIAFIRE

Noob-Friendly Tutorial:

Step One - Preparation
First you need to copy your gamesave to a FAT32 formatted USB Stick/Harddrive. It should save to the location: PS3 > SAVEDATA.

Now download the Skyrim PS3 Toolkit and extract the contents anywhere on your pc. Then take your PS3 gamesave from USB and place in this folder. Should look similar to this:



(optional): make a backup of your save file before continuing to Step Three

Step Two - Decryption
Now run the Skyrim PS3 Toolkit GUI.exe and drag in your save folder into the left box (decryption). Text should appear to confirm the gamesave has been decrypted.



Go into your save folder and open the file "SYS-DATA" in an hex editor. If the decryption is successful you should see your character name / time played / locations and Race at the top of the file as seen below:



NOTE: You can replace your decrypted save with ANY pc gamesave if you wish to replace your save with something different. If you do this, simply rename the PC save to SYS-DATA and replace yours. Then you can skip step 3 and on to step 4.

Step Three - Modding
Ok, so now you have a decrypted PS3 save which can be simply loaded up on PC by adding the file extension - .ess



Once loaded up you can easily mod using console commands. Check the 2 links below for endless possibilities.

Gamefront - Skyrim Console Commands
Skyrim Console Class 101

After you have finished modded your save on pc, save it and retrieve the .ess gamesave. Normally at the location:
C:\Users\"your username"\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves

Step Four - Encryption
You can now rename you .ess gamesave back to SYS-DATA and overwrite your original decrypted save in your gamesave folder. This is now ready to be encrypted back to PS3.



Thats it!!!
You can now simply copy your gamesave back to PS3 and load it up.

Enjoy
