Sons of the Forest bring back Kevin and Virginia from dead

In Sons of the Forest, you can have companions Kelvin and Virginia. However, when they die during your gameplay they stay dead. With a simple trick you can bring them back to life.

 

Now to do this you need files "GameStateSaveData.json" and "SaveData.json". You will also need an editing program such as Windows Notepad or Notepad++.

 

You will find the files where the corresponding information is stored on your computer by default. Usually the path is:

 

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest\Saves.

 

There you will find another folder with confused numbers that should represent your Steam account.

 

In the appropriate folder Multiplayer or Singleplayer

 

Then follow these steps:

 

Create a backup of the two files GameStateSaveData.json and SaveData.json in a separate folder

 

Then open GameStateSaveData.json

 

Searches for the entries “IsRobbyDead” for Kelvin or “IsVirginiaDead” for Virginia (via Ctrl + F; the second quotation marks are part of the search)

 

If the value is "true", write it to "false" and save

 

Then open the SaveData.json

 

Searches for “TypeId\”:9 for Kelvin or for “TypeId\”:10 for Virginia - in the same line you will find values ​​for \"State\" and "Health\" change the "State" to 2 and "Health" to 100.0 and save

 

According to reports, the entries for Virginia disappear when she dies. If this is the case, you can simply insert the corresponding lines by manual. Copies the values ​​from Kelvin and changes them to fit Virginia.

 

You should also find the entry "PlayerKilled". Set this value to 0 to ensure the NPCs respawn without errors.
