Save to one file

Papyrus Questions & Help
1

Hi All

Probably a stupid question and if I searched enough I’d probably find out how if it’s possible but it’s been a long week…

Is there a way I can just save one copy on top of each other every time, rather than a new copy all the time, so I end up with millions of saved files?

Thanks in advance.

That goes for my databases and my main working story file.

Hi! :sun_with_face:

Papyrus normally works with just one main file, and then creates safety backups in your Backups folder.

Those backups shouldn’t show up on your Start Screen or in your recent documents, so if you’re seeing a whole bunch of copies of the same project, there’s something unusual going on.

Can you grab a screenshot of what the folder looks like on your computer?

I’m wondering if the files are saved in the same location with different names, or separate places, but same name. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Also, are you working off a cloud folder like OneDrive? I’m wondering if your computer is losing connection to your cloud, and Papyrus doesn’t see that there’s a project already, so it makes a new one… :books:
