How can I convert a Survival mode save back to a normal save?
Without thinking when I launched the game, the first thing I did was change the difficulty on one of my main saves to Survival mode. After playing through Survival mode and realizing how tough it was (especially since I hadn't finished exploring the entire Commonwealth), I tried switching back but found no option to do so.
Apparently, from looking online, the changes I make are "final" if I decide to convert a save from normal to Survival. But I made these changes on accident fully unaware of the repercussions of doing so.
If I want to convert a Survival mode save back to a normal mode or playthrough, is there a way to tweak the save to change it back to normal mode?

In Permadeath if you die it's the end of the game. That said, one can edit the savegame file to transform a Survival game mode into a Normal game mode by changing the 4 ident numbers at the save start accordingly. You need to use the NMS Save Editor and go in JSON Raw Edit mode to do that.Can you switch Survival Fallout 4?

When you restart from an exit save it erases itself and that last sleep will be your last hard save you restart from if you die.
