Ah, so you’ve edited the `artifacts.gsav` of that save, not a .json file, got it.

Yes, looks like the solution is updating the game.

Since you’ve already changed around some things, why don’t change some more…?

- First, backup your save, then create a new mod (assuming you want to update the game in the future and don’t want to make the same core file edit over and over).

- In this mod, add in a new mutation:

- As for `"flags"`, choose whatever your effect was: `CLAIRVOYANCE`, `CLAIRVOYANCE_PLUS` or `SUPER_CLAIRVOYANCE`. I assume it was the “normal” `CLAIRVOYANCE`.

- Add your mods id to the `mods.json` file of your save.

- Open your game and load your world. This way you can also check if the newly made mod throws any errors.

- Note the name of your artifact.

- Exit the game.

- Open the `artifact_item_types.json` file in `data/json/artifact` and search for the name of your artifact.

- Note the id of the artifact with that name.

- Open your characters .sav file.

- Search for the id of the artifact.

- That entry should have a `"passive_effects"` entry, which in turn should have at least either one of `"has": "WIELD"` or `"has": "HELD"` entries.

- In the “mutations” entry of that tag, add in the id of your mutation, including the double quotes (if you followed my suggestion, that would be `"ARTIFACT_CLAIRVOYANCE_EFFECT"`).

- Save the file, load up the game and your world… Done. Aaand you should have your clairvoyance back.
