Mass effect 2 Gibbed problem

I downloaded the mass effect 2 gibbed mod, and fiddled with it a little bit.

I changed hair style, color, and eye color/glow.

I tried to save it, but didn't know how, so stupid me, I went into the file that i wanted to change and put save_002.pcsav.

Later on, I overwrote my 001 save file.

I started up mass effect 2, and I didnt get past the "press any key to continue" screen.

So I went back and deleted the 002 save file.

Then I took the whole save folder out, but its STILL not working.

Any suggestions?

I am not an expert on Gibbs save game editor, I just basically use it to avoid the god awful mining mini game. The only thing I can think that is wrong is are you starting a new game plus with the altered ME 2 save ? If you are altering the ME 1 choices on the fly during a ME 2 play through it won't work. You have to make the choices you want and then start a newgame + with those choices.

In other words the choices you made in ME 1 are "locked" into ME 2 right at the beginning. If you try and edit those choices half way through the game it won't work unless you start a new game plus with the altered save game file.
