Just some tips for people that are using 1.2 and Prepare Carefully, with the unofficial updated version of this from Steam. The main complaint I've seen is that there is no button to set the Psychology sliders in Prepare Carefully. The "Solution" is to just start the game, then go into Dev Mode, and tweak as needed.
That solution doesn't do crap for people like me, that use the same group of people, over and over, as it means every new game leads to WAY to much time spent trying to set those sliders. And, I have my family as characters, and my family members set the sliders for their characters, so I feel like I can't just wing it. Using screenshots is a pain, and takes even longer. But it's a necessary first step.
I found a real, permanent solution.
Grab Notepad++, free software. (You can use Notepad, or Wordpad, but they are extremely slow and glitchy when loading save files do to the size, this isn't.) Now go into your save folder, you want to open your Prepare Carefully character, and your save. Search their name in the full save, then once there, search "Confident" and it will jump down to the Psychology section. Copy from there to </nodes>. Then go into the character from Prepare, and Paste it in, making sure to overwrite exactly, (And back up the folder first, one typo, and that character will not load any more.) then save.
Now your Prepare Carefully version of that character permanently has the Psychology sliders where you tweaked them in game, and every time you load that character up in the future, it's all set.
(Now if only the Star Wars force powers could be added in the same way.)
