If that random data doesn't match the valid 1–5 range, the editor flags it as invalid immediately upon opening the file.
- Version Mismatch: Occasionally, different versions of the game (e.g., the "Collector's Edition" vs. the standard edition) store data slightly differently. If the editor was designed for the Standard Edition and you are editing a Collector's Edition save, it might be reading the wrong memory address, resulting in a gibberish value that triggers the "Invalid" error.
