Can I get that dark brotherhood horse back using this?

Was looking for a way to get my ps3 save to pc since the dlc seems to be hard to find for my ps3 ... and well most say pc ver much better.

Like many others, when I try to encrypt it back to PS3, it says my save is corrupted when I try to load it. I followed the instructions directly and it simply isn't working. The error I get is "The data is corrupted. (80029207)" When I open what is supposed to be the encrypted file in the hex editor, it still appears as though it's still decrypted. Can anyone help with this?

hey guys, i occasionally run into an error where when i try to load the gamesave on my pc, it says this save relies on content that is no longer available blah blah, but i have all of the DLCs on both my PS3 and my PC, can someone please help? i did a foolish thing and skipped darkfall cave and went straight to forgotten vail(thanks to a previous modded save where i used the command tmm 1) and now i cants get the first shrine to open in the darkfall cave. and i wish to fix this by using tcl command to go through the ground and collect the basin water.

So, do you have to have Skyrim on pc in order to mod?

im looking at a toolkit that shows no file sloaded at all
trying to figure it out even tried dosbased ill keep trying but not sure whats up

EDIT: hey derek, I everything that it said to do on you procedures... When I tried to load the modded saved on my ps3, it said that the version was outdated, and that it was version 0, while the current version is 9.. could you possibly update my save or something? thanks

send my your full PS3 save folder, and ill change the version.
Its because you need the latest patch on PC

hey derek, unfortunately, it still stays on the loading screen on my ps3, but loads on my pc
